How To Play Ukulele For Beginners

Then my incredibly popular ukulele home-study course is perfect for you. Why?

• Because Having Fun Makes Learning Easier
• Because You'll Learn Your 1st Song in 1 Week
• Because My Video Lessons Are Quick & Simple

This is the only 100% video-based method that enables you to play your favorite songs by strumming along with three 7-minute videos per week. Sound too good to be true?

I tried the Uke for Dummies book but got bored. Your bite-size videos seemed perfect for my schedule. Plus I could get into the idea of playing simple songs right away. There is a lot of content!

Why do so few sound good? And why do so many people give up when trying to learn the uke? A study in 1993 by Anders Ericsson lifts the lid …

The study revealed that if you want to get good at learning something then:

So what is the secret to getting great as quickly as possible? Simple: Deliberate Practice. My video lessons do this by focusing on the things that will help you the most (in a way that turns weaknesses into strengths … simply and systematically).

All you've got to do is play along with three 7-minute videos per week, and your progress will skyrocket.

Only three 7-minute videos per week? Yes.

You will get better faster, because my videos use the PROVEN principles of Deliberate Practice.

Deliberate Practice is celebrated in Geoff Colvin's first book, Talent Is Overrated, which earned global acclaim as a NY TIMES & WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER.

The Journal of Research in Music Education concurs, "It's not how much you practice; it's how!"

Thank you Ukulele Buddy! I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to
learn the ukulele from a video, but I have totally enjoyed my results! The lessons were the perfect pace to easily play along with and learn songs! I am so thrilled!

I am an old girl and I am amazed at how quickly I have picked up the Ukulele if I had realized how much fun it was I would have started to play as a teenager. I can now jam with the kids! I have my 11 year old grand son asking how come you can play and teach me something's, ha ha ha! The ukulele class I attend here are amazed at how fast I have picked it up so on Thursday night I took my laptop computer along to our class because our teacher was not there and I showed them I took them through the first 12 lessons, they were amazed at how easy it is.

Major kudos on your I - IV - V chord progression lesson. I read theory for YEARS and it didn't make sense until your five minute video! Amazing! That one lesson alone was worth the cost of the course to be honest. I enjoy your method of teaching very much!

Hello Uke Lover!

My name is JP Allen and I've been teaching and performing music professionally for over two decades:

I've taught at University of Texas, Austin Community College and even toured all over the world with Grammy nominated Abra Moore.

I particularly love teaching ukulele (and the harmonica) because they're so dang easy to learn - when you learn the right way...

Boredom (from mind-numbing practice), combined with bad habits, are a recipe for disaster.

My video lessons will work for you ...

… because I don’t ask you to pause the video and practice alone, like the other ukulele video lessons do.

Let’s face it. Practicing alone can be boring. And when you practice alone it’s too easy to develop bad habits, because there’s no one there to guide you.

With my 100% play-along videos, you’ll have fun and you’ll develop good habits, because we’ll play together and practice together every step of the way.

If you're willing to kick back and strum along with my quick and simple videos, you'll be "hand-delivered" to a level your friends go "Wow! in a matter weeks.

The second common problem with learning the uke is that people just don't have enough hours in the day.

Are you up for playing along with three 7-minute videos per week?

If you can, my Ukulele Buddy video lessons will be perfect for you. If not, you might as well just save your money. It took me over 25 years to distill this 100% video-based method down to its maximum potency. Three 7-minute videos per week is the sweet spot.

And YES … The more you play along with my videos, the faster you’ll improve!

How do you make one of the best learning methods on the planet better? Simple. Get a world-class uke player to join in the fun. Meet Mitch!

Mitch will show you how you can go onto the Internet and play any song you want for free (by understanding ultra-simplified ukulele tabs).

A graduate of the University of Hawaii, Mitch will entertain you and blow your mind with his crazy uke skills.

Your lessons are great!! Step by step and great to follow along. You make it easy to learn and playing straight away. I am a visual person I like to see people doing the lessons then replicating them. Great energy & vibe from both of you and fun too!

I'm a former guitar player who is trying to learn the uke. I needed something to get me started. Your very clear lessons plus the play along feature build skills pretty fast!

I ripped through your uke lessons quickly, as they were easy, but technical enough that I was improving immediately. My kids were shocked at my progress, as was I. The fact that I can practice with you every day really makes a huge difference. I can't thank you enough. Your teaching style is so refreshing and unique. I have tried other lessons with no success. I appreciate the time and energy that you have put into this course. You are an awesome teacher with a great product. You change people's lives! Playing music that I love really gives me something to look forward to on a daily basis. Thanks again, and I will spread the word!

JP and Mitch's lessons are very encouraging to experiment and jam along with. Delivery of the lessons are excellent for a beginner, even with years of classical training on piano and other instruments, it was still good to revise the theory too... they REALLY know their stuff, they clearly love it and want to share it...and they are honest and open, and very sweet guys :) i read the bonus song books and as i did so i became more inspired by the fact that i have been playing my own thing (from what i have learned from the lessons)...and how in line i was to the new learning from the books, very uplifting - how magical is that!? love it. Here's a photo of me in action in a restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand - (so cannot believe i went public, lol) playing happy birthday!!

Your program has been unbelievable! I've had good music/guitar teachers in the past but your system of 7 minute lessons is simply outstanding.

I started out on your Ukulele Buddy lessons a couple of weeks ago & am thoroughly enjoying the experience. I’m so hooked on this wonderful fun instrument. I particularly like the way you teach strumming techniques as I really haven’t a beat in my body ,other than a heart beat!!! What with your expert teaching & fun practicing with the local Uke club I really am convinced that after 65 years I finally have found a musical instrument I can have fun learning to play (tried piano,violin & guitar over the years but never got past scales / initial fumbling)
