WHY YOU CHOOSE ONLINE
UKULELE LESSONS FROM US

The ukulele is a four stringed musical instrument which one can strum and sing along. It is easy to learn, and is a perfect first musical instrument for any beginner level students who have no music background. It is perfect for kids as young as three years old, to adults who are retirees. Of course, anyone of any age can learn to play the ukulele successfully!

The way we work and study has morphed a lot since year 2020, since COVID-19 disrupted our lives. Working from home is the de facto choice as opposed to travelling to and from work place. For school-going children, online academic classes have also become the norm. With time saved from the daily commute to and from work or school, many have started online music lessons. Among all the musical instruments, the ukulele is one of the most popular choice. If you are considering online ukulele classes, let me run through the things you need to prepare so you can maximize you lessons:

1. Select a suitable ukulele before you start lessons. There are different sizes available. Popular sizes are the soprano and the concert size ukulele. The former is suitable for children or petite size adults while the latter suits adult learners. Go you your local ukulele shop and try strumming a range of ukulele. Go for good, solid tone quality. You are playing music and need to emote through the instrument so a good sounding ukulele will motivate you to practice more.

2. Decide on a budget for your ukulele. A started ukulele costs around fifty dollars, and this can go up to thousands of dollars for premium hand-crafted ones. Find out from the ukulele shop the difference in the range, ask relevant questions so that you can make an informed decision on which ukulele to procure.

3. Decide if you wish to start beginner ukulele lessons by yourself, or learn with a relative or a friend. You can also form a group to start lessons. Starting one to one lessons enables you to progress much faster. However if you learn in a group, you will enjoy the fun of strumming together. If you decide on group lessons, do select your group mates carefully so you can enjoy the synergy during your online ukulele lessons.

4. Prepare a tuner so that you can learn how to tune your ukulele. If you are learning as a group, you can share one tuner. Ensure that your tuner is compatible for tuning ukulele or guitar. During your lessons, your coach will explain to you how to tune your ukulele. It is important to ensure that your ukulele is perfectly tuned so that you strum perfectly to your favourite songs.

5. Get a few guitar picks. You may find it uncomfortable to strum or pluck the strings of your ukulele. In this case you should prepare a few guitar picks for the lessons. As these are quite small, there is a tendency for ukulele students to lose their pick. So to be safe, you should prepare a few picks.

6. For your online ukulele classes, you should set up with a laptop or desktop as the screen is much bigger. This is especially essential if you are learning with a group of relatives or friends. The audio of your laptop or desktop should also be clear as you will be listening to your ukulele teacher’s instructions online.

7. Find a conducive environment to have you online ukulele lessons. If you have a study or room at home, you can soundproof the room by drawing the blinds or windows, close the door so that you will not be distracted by outside environment.

TESTIMONIALS

STUDENT SAY

I was looking around for a good ukulele teacher for my children, and connected with Stradivari Strings. Rita linked me up with teacher Deomar for ukulele lessons for my son. My son is young and it takes him a long time to focus. Deomar has ... done a brilliant job helping my son learn simple chords and engaging him during the ukulele classes. He also absolutely loves Deomar’s approach to teaching. Aside from that we also bought a really good violin from the shop. Thank you for everything Rita.
Roshni Ravi

My mother started ukulele lessons with teacher Deomar. Ukulele teacher Deomar is very professional. He notes your strengths and tailors his ukulele classes to enhance them, thereby keeping you motivated and engaged. He is very patient and e... ven if you have not practiced, he encourages you and goes through the lessons in a pace that suits you. If the lessons are not completed, he does not strictly keep to the time limit and extends the time where necessary. He also gives my mother music scores according to her music tastes, which makes the ukulele lesson much more engaging and motivating for her. It gives my mother great satisfaction when she is able to complete a piece that she likes. All in all, highly recommended for ukulele students who want to learn leisurely and at their own pace.

Teacher Calvin has been teaching my son for close to a year. He is exceptionally patient and experienced at dealing with young kids. He knows how to make the lesson interactive and interesting so that my son is having fun yet learning at th... e same time. My son even asked for the lesson duration to be extended (from 45 mins to 1 hour)! I cannot ask for more in a teacher.:

Stradivari Strings has been very professional and prompt in their communication right from the beginning. Our teacher Calvin is very reliable, flexible, positive and relaxed. Our girls enjoy their lessons and are developing their instrument... al skills playing the ukulele.
Rebecca Copping

Mother of 2 ukulele students

Ayaan first got interested in Ukulele when he got a ukulele for his birthday present. He showed an interest in learning and we tried a couple of one on one lessons for him with different teachers. However it somehow didn’t work for him and ... he started losing interest. We contacted Stradivari Strings and got connected with teacher Jarrell. What impressed us that he has vast coaching experience teaching young kids. Jarrell made lessons fun and is extremely patient with my son. Ayaan soon started to show active interest in the ukulele lessons and now practices on his own too. We highly recommend ukulele students, whether young or adult, to start ukulele lessons with teacher Jarrell.
