Experience the joy that music will

bring to your classroom and your life! 

Bring the beauty of music into your classroom AND your life by learning to play the ukulele! Playing an instrument provides an outlet for creativity and what could be better than the stress-relieving sounds of a ukulele? Interested in learning to play? Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a skilled musician, a virtuoso, or even musically inclined. 

Meet Your Instructor Jocelyn!

It's time to let go of those limiting beliefs that have been keeping you from picking up an instrument.

You know what I'm talking about...

  • Excuse #1 My hands are too big or my hands are too small Did you know the Ukulele comes in four different sizes to fit fingers and hands of all sizes? Learning to play the ukulele is the same whether you are using a soprano, concert, tenor or bass ukulele. Check out our sizing and selection guide to help you choose the perfect ukulele.
  • Excuse #2 I’m too old to learn to play an instrument You are NEVER too old to learn to play an instrument.  Don’t believe us?  Ask a music teacher. Music teachers are eager to teach adult students who are motivated and excited to realize a dream. Or, go ask a neuroscientist who will say DO IT. There is a whole lot of science backing their push for you to play, but the end result is the same. Learning to play an instrument as an adult is a GREAT way to keep your mind sharp and active.  
  • Excuse #3 I have no musical talent Stop right there. Natural talent may make it easier for someone to learn to play the ukulele, but there are really only two things you need to succeed. The first is patience and the second is practice. If you are willing to put in the time and effort you will learn to play even if you’ve failed in the past.  
  • Excuse #4 I’m way too busy...maybe someday in the future It’s true. Our lives are full of commitments and activities that prevent us from doing everything we want to do. But, you’re here because you feel that desire to pick up a ukelele and hear the sweet sounds coming from your hard work. Yes! Uke'N Play the Ukulele is a great option for someone leading a busy life. To learn the basics, you just need to make time for one 30 minute lesson each week for 4 weeks as well as 20 minutes per day of practice time.

IT'S TIME TO TOSS THE EXCUSES ASIDE.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY...


"I love your course and the way you teach! :-) I never thought I would be able to play an instrument. I tried to play the guitar before and I failed. I thought that I don't have talent for it and that I am too old for it right now. And you know what, now I know it is never too late! :-) Thank you for that! I have to admit it is not easy, it's challenging. I still struggle to move smoothly from chord C to G, but I'm slowly getting there. Every day I see progress. And I have so much fun! Thank you for spreading the joy! I really appreciate your work!"

-Magda, Preschool Teacher


"Jocelyn, thanks for helping me every time that I reached you!! I really appreciate all the songs that I have learned. I have been singing all of them to my kids in my zoom meetings. I am still learning how to switch chords, but all the songs that I know now is amazing and thank you so much for that."

-Yvette, Preschool Teacher


"This class was well-paced and complete so you could work on it now or later and always have a few songs to play and sing."

-David, Retired Judge

"Take it from someone who is not musical. has never played an instrument (well there was that month with a guitar)- this is something that you can pick up really quickly and feel satisfied doing. Now I need singing lessons!"

-Linda, Preschool Teacher

Q and A

When it comes to taking a course like this, there are lots of questions. If you don't see your question answered below, simply send us your question and we will get back to you ASAP!

What will I need to take the course?

One of the most important things you'll need is a ukulele. Don't have one? No problem. Check out my blog post, 5 Ukuleles That Won't Break the Bank.

Next, you'll need internet access. You can either use a computer or your phone. The platform that I use to teach the class is called Teachable and the have an app with the same name. It's awesome!

Lastly, you'll need motivation to complete the course. Make sure you are super jazzed about learning the ukulele because the only way this will be a success is if you put in the time. You've got this!

When does the class start?

The exact start date depends on what session you join. Classes are set up to start on a Friday and go for 4 weeks. Each Friday at 9:00 a.m. pacific time you will receive access that week's class. This will continue each Friday for 4 weeks.

How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you will have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like across any and all devices you own.

How do I know if this course is right for me? This course is designed for people who work with young children and want to play the ukulele with them. We will be teaching you kid-friendly songs.
