Class Experience

Join us for a fun and engaging course where beginning ukulele students will learn the basics of ukulele: how to read TAB, play chords, and fun songs, through our live lessons + custom digital resources for practicing on their own! 

Has your child ever been interested in learning to play ukulele but didn't know where to start? Have they tried following a book or watching YouTube videos but felt overwhelmed or didn’t know if they were playing correctly? Or maybe they have never once picked up a ukulele but have always wanted to learn? Well don't fret (hehe fret...), because we're here to help!

We have broken this course down into tiny, digestible bites for young learners that will get them playing right away so they feel successful and excited from the start, which will motivate them to continue to learn. We will also learn fun, modern songs that students recognize so they love what they are learning!

Here at Mini Musicians Studio we believe that music education isn't just about learning a new skill or hobby, but it's about a student building 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙉𝙀𝘾𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎, 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙁𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙏𝙔.

We've found that one of the best ways to reach children through music education is through modern instruments and technology-- this is why we focus our classes on guitar, ukulele, and music production with GarageBand.

We're so excited to welcome your kiddo into the Mini Musicians community!
