Joining the academy and learning to play has been so much fun. Smashing ‘community’ feel, really friendly and supportive. Seeing progress in myself which is great. No matter how awful my playing sounds, it just makes me smile such a diversion from the stresses of life. I pick up my uke and everything feels wonderful and tensions just lift. I joined after the death of my father - it’s simply been my salvation. Many of the songs have been ones he loved and this in itself has helped me with my grief. I can’t thank you enough.

I have had previous unsuccessful attempts at learning to play an instrument. The accelerator is fast paced and there is a lot to learn, but if you don't have as much time as others you can always go back, recap and consolidate your learning. The most important lesson Matt gives you ... you CAN do it. I have since joined my local Ukulele club and I am loving it. Thanks Matt for making learning fun and making us aware that whatever our age and experience we can still achieve and progress.

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.
