The ukulele is a small guitar-like instrument introduced to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants. Now it is famous as the sound of hula-girls and palm trees! In recent years many bands and singer-songwriters have started to make use of its distinctive sound.


Learning to play the ukulele

Ukulele lessons can be either in groups or individual. We often use it as part of our whole class in2music programme in primary schools. You will learn how to play a variety of chords and how to accompany yourself and others singing.

  • Is it the right instrument for me?

    This instrument would particularly suit those who want a simple instrument to accompany themselves while singing. For very young children, it can be a good prelude to learning the guitar. It is a simple instrument to learn so songs can be played relatively quickly
