The most Fun Way to learn the Ukulele
in the World…Ever!

Awesome Ukulele Courses

DISCOVER HOW MUCH FUN PLAYING THE UKULELE CAN BE

It's always the right time to learn to play!

On our fun ukulele courses, using our proven method, we have taught over 2000 people to play their first song.

We have taught kids and we have taught 80-year olds.

We have taught people  to play the ukulele who have been told they had no musical talent.

They can now all play songs on the ukulele and have had fun learning!
A proven, simple and fun process that will really get you learning the ukulele, no matter your age, or how much musical ability you think you have.

We concentrate on the five fundamentals that will get you playing quickly and sounding great -  tuning, strumming, learning chords, chord changes, and having fun practising.

“ I was a session musician, touring and recording throughout my 20’s and then I became a music
teacher at my kids school. I know how much fun playing an instrument can be. This is why
I’ve created The Awesome Ukulele Academy to help everyone achieve their dreams of being able to perform the songs they love…and, of course, to save the world!”

Wow! Just WOW! I have had the best time ever over the last couple of months since starting the Awesome Ukulele Academy's '3 Little Birds' in 3 days... I learnt so much on that course and the follow up Accelerator program has been brilliant. Loads of varied tunes, fabulous supportive fellow students and you can take the program at your own pace... I started not being able to play one chord and can now happily play a handful of tunes... I am so pleased I decided to try the course and playing the ukulele has become part of my life now. Huge thanks to Matt and your truly awesome team.

Thank you so much, I've learnt so much during this course and I think that this is the first class in my life I've really enjoyed and felt no pressure from, so I have been able to really engage well, and the community support has been amazing and lovely, I've felt so supported, able to ask questions, and have gone from knowing very little about ukulele (despite trying to teach myself with a book previously and getting nowhere) to feeling like I've got this and able to play quite a few songs and seeing myself progress and knowing how to learn!

I think the most important part of learning something new is the teacher then the way you are taught Matt is an excellent tutor he's patient and is happy to answer the same questions asked 10 times over and I would highly recommend this ukulele accelerator course for quick and slow learners (like myself)
Really enjoyed this and looking forward to the next one
