Ukulele Beginner Course

Start Having Fun with the Ukulele From Day 1

Why Students Love My Ukulele Beginner Course

Fun

While other online ukulele teachers might bore you with musical theory and technicalities, I teach only what you need to have the most fun playing as quickly as possible.

Simple

I make the ukulele simple by quickly teaching you four simple chords and three key strum patterns that will allow you to play hundreds of songs in a fun, varietous way.

Effective

By the end of this course, you will also develop the skills you need to look up any song you want, simplify the chords, and play it with confidence.

In as Little as One Week, You Will…

Be Able to Play Hundreds of Songs

By the end of this course, you’ll feel extremely confident transitioning between each of the 4 most important chords, allowing you to play along with me in my hundreds of tutorial videos. And with the 3 key strum patterns I’ll be teaching you, you’ll be able to play them in a fun, varietous way.

Be Able to Learn Any Song You Want

I’ll also equip you with the skills you need to move beyond the chords and strum patterns of this course. I’ll show you how to look up any song you want to learn, simplify the chords, master the transitions between any new chords, and play it with an engaging mix of strum patterns.

You could be playing and having fun like Kalea… In as little as one week!

I am so grateful for Four Chord Simple because it made it so I could learn so many fun and popular songs with just four chords! It only took me a week to learn a lot of songs and I’m having so much fun in the process! I can’t wait to keep learning more from Four Chord Simple!”

KALEA

Welcome to My Ukulele Beginner Course!

My goal with Four Chord Simple and this course is to make music fun. Growing up, music felt like a chore until I discovered the simplicity of the ukulele. Instead of spending hours doing drills and playing boring songs like London Bridges, I found I was able to play the songs that I wanted to play right from the beginning. That is my goal with this course: quickly give you the skills you need to play all the songs you want to play.

What to Expect

Learn Your First Song in the First Lesson!

In the first lesson, I’ll give you full access to all the tools you’ll need to get started. I’ll teach you your first chord and strum pattern, and then you’ll already be ready to play your first song. With just one chord!

Learn a New Song and Skill in Every Lesson!

In each of the 20 subsequent lessons, I’ll spend just a few minutes teaching you another skill and then we’ll put it into practice on another fun, popular song. 

Learn to Play Any Song You Want!

I’ll also equip you with the skills you need to move beyond the chords and strum patterns of this course. I’ll show you how to look up any song you want to learn and play it with an engaging mix of strum patterns.

Flexible and Individualized

Go At Your Own Pace

While most students will likely complete this course in 3 weeks, doing one lesson per day, feel free to go at your own pace. You might do several lessons per day and finish the course in a week or less, or you might take your time and do one lesson every few days. Whatever works best for you.

Spend Time on What Matters to YOU!

Additionally, you can spend as much or as little time as you’d like on each lesson. If a lesson has a song you really like, feel free to spend more time on it. If you quickly master a lesson’s content, you might finish it in less than 10 minutes. As long as you are having fun, you are doing this course right.

This Course is Perfect For…

Kids

Because this course is go-at-your-own-pace, even kids as young as 6 years old won’t get overwhelmed and will have fun from lesson 1!

Teens & Adults

Looking for a musical outlet that is all fun (and no chore)? Regardless of musical experience, you’ll be playing along and jamming out to your favorite tunes in no time.

By the end of this course, you will also develop the skills you need to look up any song you want, simplify the chords, and play it with confidence.

What Will I Learn By the End of This Course?

By the end of this course, you’ll feel extremely confident transitioning between each of the 4 most important chords, allowing you to play along with me in my hundreds of tutorial videos. And with the 3 key strum patterns I’ll be teaching you, you’ll be able to play them in a fun, varietous way.

I’ll show you how to look up any song you want to learn, simplify the chords, master the transitions between any new chords, and play it with an engaging mix of strum patterns.

How Long Does This Course Take?

While most students will likely complete this course in 3 weeks, doing one lesson per day, feel free to go at your own pace. You might do several lessons per day and finish the course in a week or less, or you might take your time and do one lesson every few days. Whatever works best for you.

How Long Does Each Lesson Take?

You can spend as much or as little time as you’d like on each lesson. If the lesson has a song you really like, feel free to spend more time on it and maybe even memorize it. If you’re not wanting to memorize the song and feel like you’ve mastered the lesson’s content, you might finish a lesson in less than 10 minutes. As long as you are having fun, you are doing this course right.

Who is This Course Geared Towards?

This course is perfect for anyone who is relatively new to the ukulele, whether you are a child, teen, adult, or older adult. It will take you from wherever you are at, regardless of musical experience, and equip you with the skills you need to learn any song you want to play on the ukulele.

Is My Child Old Enough for This Course?

Because this course is go-at-your-own-pace, even kids as young as 6 years old won’t get overwhelmed and will have fun from lesson 1! Children 5 and younger might try this course, but they may not have the finger dexterity or attention span required yet. If you think your child is ready, though, feel free to give it a try, and you can always try again several months down the road.

If I Enroll My Child, What is My Role as the Parent?

If your child is fairly independent, he/she should have no trouble completing this course and learning the ukulele on their own. If your child is younger than 10 or struggles to motivate him/herself, it may help for you to participate in the course with him/her. That would simply mean spending 10-15 minutes with him/her each day on a lesson. No need for you to have any musical experience, just being there to love and support your child is enough.

I Already Know the Basic Ukulele Chords... Will This Course Still Help Me?

Even if you have several ukulele chords under your belt, this course will still bring your ukulele skills to the next level. It will enhance your ability to transition between chords as well as equip you with three key strum patterns that will allow you to play any song in a fun, varietous way. That being said, this course is geared towards beginners, so if you are an advanced player who feels comfortable with a lot of chords and songs, this course may be easier than what you are looking for.

I'm Not Much of a Singer... Will This Course Still Help Me?

If you have no interest in singing while playing the ukulele, this course will still help you learn to play along with your favorite songs. You will develop the skills you need to play along with me in my hundreds of sing-along tutorial videos. On the other hand, if you prefer playing songs without any singing at all, my course may not be the right fit. Instead, you should look into a course that focuses on finger picking. My course is focused on helping you have the most fun singing or playing along with singing on your ukulele as quickly as possible.
