• May Day • (May 1st) is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, usually celebrated on 1 May, around halfway between the Northern Hemisphere's spring equinox and midsummer solstice. The earliest known May celebrations appeared with the Floralia, festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, held from 27 April to 3 May during the Roman Republic era, and the Maiouma or Maiuma, a festival celebrating Dionysus and Aphrodite held every three years during the month of May.

Price Increase

Starting January 1, 2025, with the sale of our Funky Frets Music Store building (the music business IS continuing). Curt (so strange typing in third-person), is attempting, 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 January 2, 2025. Starting with the FREE Learning the Ukulele Fingerboard workshop.

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 lights 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 private lessons.

Thanks for all the support! — Curt
