Have you wanted to join a ukulele club but worry you aren't "good enough"? That's where I come in! My ukulele lessons help you build the skills and confidence you need to play comfortably with others and reach the next level.
I work with teens to seniors in a fun, relaxed, and supportive setting, with the personalized guidance only in-person instruction can offer.
What You'll Learn
In my ukulele lessons, you'll learn to:
Hold your ukulele comfortably
Play essential chords and switch between them
Strum with rhythm and keep a steady beat
Use go-to strumming patterns
Play fun songs with 4 (or more!) chords
Join any jam with confidence
"Positive and fun learning environment. Learned chords, strums, things that will enable me to practice on my own." - Elaine S.
"Jen is a great teacher! Her enthusiasm for music is infectious. She makes class fun for everyone." - Kathy S.
"This is a good place to start. I tried other self-instruction books, YouTube and self practice. The structured class setting is working for me." - Jeff P.
"The song choice and style of teaching was supportive and challenging and lots of fun." - Mardi V.
"Great classes, small group setting works!" - Sue G.
I offer private lessons for those who prefer individual instruction and live in Lamorinda (Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga), Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Danville, Concord, San Ramon, and other East Bay cities. Reach out through my Contact page for more information.
I'd love to help you begin your ukulele adventure!
I've been there! I know what it takes to go from knowing only a couple of chords to feeling at ease playing, singing, and having fun in a group. If I can do it, so can you!
