Tailored Private Classes for Ukulele Enthusiasts of All Levels

Our private ukulele classes are custom-tailored to match the developmental goals of every student.

  • Young beginners (age 6+) – Ukulele is an ideal first instrument with a gentle learning curve and small size.
  • Teens & Pre-teens – Learn to play, sing, and even write your own songs.
  • Adults – Ukulele is approachable and rewarding at any age, and we love working with adult beginners and intermediates, learn more about our adult lessons.
 
Our lessons are particularly well-suited for students who are motivated to practice and explore creatively. While we are not specifically trained in special education methods, we are happy to discuss your student’s individual learning needs during a trial lesson and make thoughtful recommendations to ensure the best fit for each learner.

An Encouraging, Low-Pressure Space to Build Your Skills

At Blue Frog, we believe that learning an instrument should be a rewarding, positive experience, which is why our mentoring style centers entirely on encouragement. Our instructor roster balances the deep pedagogical expertise of university-degreed string educators with the practical, real-world wisdom of active, touring industry musicians. We reject rigid, high-pressure teaching methods, choosing instead to design custom-tailored, positive reinforcement lesson plans that celebrate your individual progress every single week.

Practice, Perform, and Shine

 

Regular attendance and practice are essential for musical growth. We encourage students to commit to consistent lessons and participate in our biannual recitals. These performances offer a valuable opportunity to showcase progress, boost confidence, and share music in a supportive, low-pressure setting. Participation is tailored to each student’s comfort level and stage of development, ensuring everyone can shine.

[Note: while performing is participatory, attendance is not].

Bring Your Own Instrument (required)

Students must own a ukulele and bring it to every lesson. We have a few extras for one-off needs, but real progress depends on daily practice at home. Trial lessons include sizing help (soprano vs. concert), tuner basics, and setup tips.
