Choosing a Ukulele

Choosing a ukulele

Families do not need to buy the most expensive ukulele to start. A comfortable, stable beginner instrument can make lessons easier, and we can guide students toward the right size and style before lessons begin.

  • Soprano ukulele for a small, classic sound and easy beginner handling
  • Concert or tenor ukulele for a little more space and a fuller sound
  • Baritone ukulele only when it matches the student's goals and hand size
  • Instrument, tuner, lesson book, and practice material guidance before registration
Songs and Styles

Find your sound

Ukulele lessons can include simple pop songs, folk-style accompaniment, classical-style melodies, jazz basics, rhythm patterns, chord progressions, and music students enjoy.

Free Trial

Getting started
