Ukuleke Lessons
The Ukulele or “Uke” is a four-stringed instrument from Hawaii and looks a lot like a diminutive guitar. The similarities to the guitar don’t just stop at the body shape (although the ukulele is approximately half the guitar’s size).
The finger dexterity, chord shapes and strumming patterns are the same in both instruments. This makes our one-to-one ukulele lessons and ukulele classes, ideal introductions to these fundamental guitar techniques.
***Buddy Lessons Available*** this – allows 2 students of the same ability to attend together. The fee is €16 per student, per 30-minute session. Please note that it is entirely up to students to find a buddy to share with.
