The Ukulele

The Ukulele is a stringed and fretted acoustic instrument that's closest associated with Hawaii, although the instrument actually originated in Portugal in the 18th Century. Much like a guitar, it's played two hands. One hand presses down on the strings to alter the pitch of the note while the other picks or strums the strings either with a plectrum or with the fingers, allowing the musician to play chords and melodies.

​

The Ukulele has been used in Pop, folk, reggae, Jazz and Classical genres. There are four main types of Ukelele: Soprano, Concert, Tenor, & Baritone. We teach the Soprano Ukulele, also known as 'standard' ukulele. We explore popular songs, compositions and graded materials.
