There are four main sizes, but most beginners start with soprano or concert. Soprano is the traditional size and works for most people. Concert and tenor offer more room for bigger hands. Try before you buy — we can show you the difference at your lesson.

Absolutely not! Quality beginner ukuleles are very affordable, and you don't need an amplifier or any other equipment. The total startup cost is far less than most instruments.

Absolutely — the ukulele is perfect for adult beginners. Adults love the uke because progress is fast and the experience is fun. Many of our adult students wish they'd started sooner!

The ukulele is arguably the best instrument for singer-songwriters. It takes a little practice, but most students get the hang of it surprisingly quickly. If you want to take your vocals further, our singing teachers can help too.

Starting on uke gives you a huge advantage when you move to guitar. The skills you build — rhythm, chord changes, music reading — apply directly. It's a great one-two combination.
