Looking for a magic potion to learn the ukulele? Sorry, there isn’t one. But after you've tried all the Quick & Easy methods and still haven't seen the results you're after, don't blame yourself or your effort. The issue likely lies with the methods, sources, and teachers you've been using. It's time to put the pieces together with a reliable and effective approach to truly master the ukulele. Join LearningUkulele.com and discover the difference.

Proven Methods — It's one thing that I've learned over the past 30 years, 40 years, 50 years, plus years of serious study, research, and application of music, as well as from my weekly student interactions (had 70 at one point) It's that everyone is different. I can adapt to pretty much anything and have a multitude of ways of teaching any given topic. I CAN find what works for you — that IS my role in this and my goal, to help you learn and develop your voice on the ukulele — to obtain your goals.

The sole assurance I can offer regarding my methods and guidance is that if one invests the necessary time and effort, they will attain desired outcomes. I, my mentors, and my students have all been down the same musical road that you're traveling.

Over the years, I've found that every musician you admire probably started where you did.

The Secret is — There is NO Secret — it IS hard work!

NOW, Gab that Uke and Lets Get to Work!!!
