Not only that, I've been a professional musician, graphic artist, computer programmer, author, publisher, and competitive racewalker for over 40+ years, having studied jazz with my main instrument being the guitar until 2003, when the ukulele took over.
I've taken advantage of my extensive experience studying, learning, teaching, researching, and exploring music. I bring this experience to all my ukulele content and have made it available right here on Learning Ukulele with Curt. I started exploring the potential of the ukulele back in 2003, with the ukulele is NOW my Primary performance instrument and teaching focus.
