Ukulele Teacher
Coming from the heart…
I must admit, during the recording of the videos, talking to an unresponsive camera has been the ultimate challenge. After more than a decade of teaching kids, from international schools to group classes and one-on-ones, suddenly it felt unnatural talking to a machine.
Things got better when I imagined actually speaking directly to every child in the world, making them love the ukulele and enjoy each lesson. Now, that inspired me.
Why do this?
Over the years, I’ve developed a unique teaching method on how to make young children learn and practice the ukulele ​in a fun and creative way. The key is to make them fall in love with the instrument and enjoy each moment of the experience. And it turned out to be very effective! Children get excited to learn more and develop the habit and discipline to practice by themselves. And the happiest thing is, they become good at playing the instrument at a very young age. So, I realized that I must share this to the world and reach as many kids as possible.
This is also for the music teachers, parents, guardians who wish to have fun and creative lessons to teach ukulele.
And to the young at heart, this is definitely for you.
Have a blast!
