I particularly love teaching ukulele (and the harmonica) because they’re so dang easy to learn – when you learn the right way…
Why do so many people give up when trying to learn the uke, or any other instrument for that matter? And why do so few sound so good? A study in 1993 by Anders Ericsson lifts the lid…
So what is the secret to getting great as quickly as possible? Simple: Conscious Play. My video lessons do this by…
Turning your uke-playing weakness into a strength by focusing on the things that will help you the most. They also help you enjoy yourself and avoid hours of ineffective practice that creates progress-slowing bad habits.
My Ukulele Buddy Video Method is the easiest way to keep you focused until you’ve mastered the uke because…
…all you’ve got to do is grab your Uke and play along with my videos. You never have to practice alone – just play along!
Thank you Ukulele Buddy! I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to learn the ukulele from a video, but I have totally enjoyed my results! The lessons were the perfect pace to easily play along with and learn songs! I am so thrilled!
I am an old girl and I am amazed at how quickly I have picked up the Ukulele if I had realized how much fun it was I would have started to play as a teenager. I can now jam with the kids! I have my 11 year old grand son asking how come you can play and teach me something’s, ha ha ha! The ukulele class I attend here are amazed at how fast I have picked it up so on Thursday night I took my laptop computer along to our class because our teacher was not there and I showed them I took them through the first 12 lessons, they were amazed at how easy it is.
Major kudos on your I – IV – V chord progression lesson. I read theory for YEARS and it didn’t make sense until your five minute video! Amazing! That one lesson alone was worth the cost of the course to be honest. I enjoy your method of teaching very much!
As an another study, published in the Journal of Research in Music Education in 2009 explained, “It’s Not How Much; It’s How”. Here’s how…
All you’ve got to do is jam along with my video lessons and I can hand deliver you to a level that’ll make your friends go “WOW!” Just grab your uke, cue up the video and jam along. Just play!
Once you finish one video, you move on to the next. You never have to practice alone because I will be playing with you and showing you exactly what to do every step of the way. This means…
1. Because I hold your hand through every step you’ll avoid picking up those bad habits that often kill progress and cause frustration.
2. Practicing alone, effectively, can be mind numbingly boring. It’s one of the most common reasons people give up. My lessons mean you don’t have to practice alone (if you don’t want to).
The second common problem with learning the uke is that people just don’t have enough hours in the day. I made sure my lessons were designed in such a way that you can progress with just 8 minutes, three times a week. Seriously – with just 8 minutes of play, three times a week, I’ll have you playing the songs you love in no time at all. The more you play along with my videos the faster you improve! (If you can’t give me a minimum of 8 minutes per week, then these lessons are probably not for you). That’s not all though…
How do you make one of the best learning methods on the planet better? Simple. Get a world class uke teacher to join in the fun! Meet Mitch!
Mitch Chang is world famous for his uke playing and uke teaching ability. (He’s also a music major grad from the University of Hawaii!)
With Mitch’s crazy uke skills and my uke beginners play-along method, we will take you from being a newbie or struggling ukulele player to someone who can blow the roof off the house.
My lessons are suitable for Soprano ukes, Concert (aka Alto) ukes or Tenor size ukes. If you have a Baritone uke, just pop a capo on the 5th fret and you can play along with my lessons too! You can even play along with a Banjo Uke if you use a plectrum.
Your lessons are great!! Step by step and great to follow along. You make it easy to learn and playing straight away. I am a visual person I like to see people doing the lessons then replicating them. Great energy & vibe from both of you and fun too!
I had tried the Uke for Dummies book but got bored only a few chapters in. I thought about real-life lessons, but the nearest ones were about half an hour away. We just had our second child, so I only have bits and pieces of free time. Your bite-size lessons seemed perfect for my schedule. Plus I could get into the idea of playing simple songs right away. There is a lot of content! I’m only through about 15 lessons, so the whole course will last me a while. I haven’t had a chance to look through the bonus material yet. I like your teaching style, and how you have a good mix of explanation, examples, play-along, tips, and encouragement. Your interaction with Mitch gives the lessons a good vibe which you wouldn’t get just talking into the camera solo. I feel like I’m getting a lesson from 2 teachers at once.
When you buy my complete beginner’s uke course, you get over 10 HOURS of video instruction. The lessons cover everything you need including… Read more…
