Comments from our test learners:
- Love how warm and welcoming you both are in your videos!
- Love the Simon Says game!
- This course is so wonderful and makes ukulele playing so much simpler and less scary for people, fantastic job on this!!!
- Oh my gosh this combo Ms.Christina / Ms.Rose freeze dance is adorable and so fun!
- LOVE these fun technique adds! I think they’re a great tool for people to use in storytime that’s not as formal as just playing chords but helps them feel more experienced and flexible in their playing. The written descriptions of these are also very helpful and clear.
- Love this introduction to other ukulele heroes as a way to help motivate our personal growth and show the many different ways of playing ukulele.
You can take this course on a computer / laptop, or a mobile device! Just remember to check out all the amazing content below the videos.
