On the web since 1992!

Starting Spring 2012 I'll be offering one-on-one private sessions.

Get personalized one-on-one guidance, at your own pace, anytime and anywhere in the world.

I've had up to 70 private guitar, bass and ukulele students a week in the past and everyone one them where different. They each had different goals and experience they brought to the lessons. An each lesson is customized, based on their goals and what's needed to accomplish the goal.

Just as there wouldn't be one book that I could use for every student. There can't be one single web site organization that would work for student. Believe me I tried, it really needs to be customized to the individual player and student's goals.

toon_JungleWhat most players really need is a guide or coach to help them select and guide them through the vast amount of material available, more in today's Internet age then ever. Your the Explorer and I'll be your Guide.

toon_AhYes!That's just what I'm now offering, my personal guidance and coaching - one-on-one private lessons. It would be the same if you could travel to my home studio for lessons - but, a lot cheaper. My private, in-studio lesson fee is $100 to $125 a month of one half hour each, one-on-one lessons. For as low as $29 a month I'll guide you through the maze of material available on my site. Using email and phone I'll give you that personal one-on-one treatment that all my private students get. The price also includes access to any of my books as free downloads that we use as part of the lessons. It will be like getting a master class whenever you like.

Lessons can be taken using video via skype or speaker phone.

Ukulele- Reading Music Series - Primer

Reading music is not as hard as one might think. It may be new and unfamiliar but is not hard when you have a proper plan of attack.

Reading music on the ukulele is easier than reading music on guitar or piano. There are only four strings with a smaller range of possible notes.

Music in the key of C with all natural notes, no flats or sharps is pretty easy to play in open position on a ukulele. This would be the same as playing the white keys of a piano.

Standard music notation has been the Lingua Franco of musicians, both professionals and hobbyists for many centuries.

Reading standard music notation opens you up to vast world of published music.

Reading simple melodies in open position is the first step to reading music on the uke.
