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!”

I had so much fun. I was apprehensive about attempting to learn Ukulele as I had unsuccessfully tried guitar years ago. Matt made it so easy.
Matt's teaching methods are fun and make learning Ukulele so simple. It seems almost magical.
Matt's singing is a bonus.
I have a Family Day Care. Yesterday I played Sad Little Bunny for the children. They had their toy Ukuleles and played along as we sang. One 2 year old gave his mum a concert at pickup time.

Great teacher, if anyone can teach me how to play the Uke they deserve a special mention as I was told as a child that I could not be taught guitar due to being left handed. Matt has totally knocked that theory out of the park by teaching me how to play as a right handed player. I never believed I would ever play an instrument but am now loving playing my Uke and champing at the bit for more lessons. Thankyou The Awesome Ukelele Academy for helping me achieve something on my bucket list

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.
