The 2025 Workshop schedule for the first four months has been posted.

With 2025 just around the corner, I thought I'd remind everyone of the 2025 price increase.

Starting January 1, 2025, with the sale of our Funky Frets building (business is continuing). Curt (so strange typing in third-person), is dedicating even more time to LearningUkulele.com and Learning Ukulele with Curt, like I don't already put full-time effort into it. I'll be firing up the ZOOM workshops again in Q1, 2025.

Site GOLD Membership

Starting 2025 price will increase to $14 a month.

A Monthly subscription is a great way to support the effort that goes into adding great content and keeping the light on at LearningUkulele.com and Learning Ukulele with Curt.

Site FOREVER Membership

Starting 2025 price will increase to $399.

If you're not a fan of subscriptions as Curt is and don't like monthly subscriptions, never want to pay again, and really want to support LearningUkulele.com and Learning Ukulele with Curt. Then a FOREVER Premium Membership is for you. If you were taking private one-on-one lessons, $399 could be only a couple of months worth of lessons..

Thanks for all the support! — Curt
