Some kind words from happy ukulele players:
Hi, I’m Alice
I’m a musician and ukulele teacher. I teach ukulele online to adult learners all over the world.
I’m based in Hamilton, in the heart of New Zealand, close to boiling mud pools, cool surf beaches and Hobbiton.
After playing many instruments in everything from rock bands to symphony orchestras, I rediscovered the easy joy of strumming ukulele with my friends, and I’ve never looked back.

Three ways to do everything
On the ukulele, there’s no one correct way to do anything. It’s one of the things I love about this amazing little instrument.
There are always at least three valid, popular options for everything.
Whether it’s fingering chord shapes, holding the ukulele, strumming, the key you play in, how to practice.
Left-handed ukulele tips
If you’re left-handed, you don’t need to buy a special left-handed ukulele. The music world is set up for right handers, but there are plenty of options for left-handed ukulele players.
Reading music and ukulele
A common question from beginner players is: “Do I have to read music?”
You don’t have to be able to read music to play the ukulele.
In this post I discuss the three most common forms of notation that I’ve seen in ukulele playing, and what they’re good for.
