Uke Theory

Have you ever wanted to know about music theory but been intimidated by how complicated it is? In this course I demystify music theory and apply it directly to ukulele playing. Importantly, I show you how empowering it is for you to gain this knowledge and demonstrate how it can make you a better player. This was the first course I recorded and made during the first Covid lockdown, so it is just me, a whiteboard and a ukulele, but I think the content is well worth exploring.

Try the sample videos below for free and if you enjoy them you can subscribe to the whole 30 part course either using a one time payment or via monthly subscription.
