Ukulele Lessons

Ages 5 and up

Westminster Arts Academy is the number one ukulele lessons program in Orange County, CA.

Overview

Our ukulele instructors teach folk, country, reggae, and rock-n-roll styles — and classical too. Beginners work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight-reading, and theory. Each lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory and ends with something fun – such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of ukulele method books based on student needs and preferences. So let your instructor know what type of music you want to learn!

Why take ukulele lessons?

The ukulele is much smaller and easier to learn compared to the guitar. The instrument is more cost-effective and easier to take around everywhere. The strings are easier to play, and there are only four strings, making learning chords easier.

Our ukulele instructors are warm and friendly and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and your favorite type of music. Whether you are playing in local bands, a seven-year-old taking their first lesson, or a fifty-year-old returning to the ukulele after many years, we’ll set goals for you to achieve your musical aspirations.
