What is the best age to start ukulele lessons?

We recommend that if your child is showing an interest in learning an instrument, any age is the best age. As a parent, you’ll know when that time is. Is your child playing the coffee table like they’re the next Alicia Keys or playing air guitar to their favorite songs or singing in the shower and everywhere they go? These are all clear signs that you have a musician in the making.

We’ve had incredible success with ukulele students starting as young as 4 years old. The key is not to expect miracles and trust that our professional instructors are working hard to motivate your child to be the best they can be. Slowly, skills will be developed, and before you know it, your child will be playing like a pro.

Do I need to own an instrument?

We definitely feel it is a great idea to have your own ukulele. They are very affordable and available in our webstore.

Which ukulele is best for me?

Ukuleles come in many different sizes and shapes however, the most common sizes are soprano ukulele which is the smallest. It has a thinner tone but great for traveling. then there is the concert ukulele which would be a couple of inches bigger than the soprano giving it a bigger sound. The tenor ukulele is much larger than the soprano making it a popular choice for performers and finally theres the baritone ukulele, tuned using the bottom four strings of the guitar making it a popular choice for guitar players. Before you ask, Billie Eilish uses a 15” concert ukulele.

How long until I’m good?

While everyone is different, the bottom line is practice. The more time you spend with your ukulele, the faster you will experience ability-changing results. If we’re doing our job right by keeping you motivated and inspired, you or your child will have to work at putting your ukulele down.

Can I play in a band?
