The ukulele is one of the most popular instruments for younger students, and we know why! First of all, the ukulele is what’s known as a “harmonic instrument” meaning that it can play chords. Other harmonic instruments are the guitar and the piano. Harmonic instruments are fun to learn because they sound great without needing the help of other instruments. This makes it a great instrument to accompany yourself on, meaning that you can sing while playing the chords of the song on the ukulele.

Since the ukulele has fewer strings than many other string instruments, it makes it one of the easier ones to learn. Most of the chord shapes on the ukulele are much simpler than the corresponding chord on the guitar. For example, playing a C major chord on the guitar takes 3 fingers held down on 3 different strings. Guess how many fingers you have to hold down to play a C major chord on the ukulele! If you guessed 1, you’re right!

Through our ukulele lessons in Plymouth, our teachers can adapt to your desired pace and your learning needs - walking you through each chord combination string by string until you feel confident if needed, or setting you up with a strenuous practice routine if you prefer.
