The ukulele is one of the friendliest instruments to start on: four soft nylon strings, a small body and chord shapes that use only a finger or two at first. Early lessons cover holding and tuning it, a first few chords and a steady strum, so you can often be playing songs within the first few lessons. Then come smoother chord changes, strumming patterns, fingerpicking and melodies.
Children usually play a soprano ukulele, the smallest size, and the soft nylon strings are kind to small fingers. Lessons stay short and playful: a first chord or two, a strum along to songs they know, and singing along as they play.
What lessons focus on
Teens often pick up ukulele to play the songs they love, write their own or accompany their singing. Lessons move into strumming patterns, fingerpicking and chord changes that make full songs sound good.
What lessons focus on
Adults find the ukulele a quick way into making music, with simple chord shapes that open up many songs. Lessons build smooth changes, rhythm and melody at a pace that fits a working week.

What to expect when you start ukulele lessons in Denver.

Many children start somewhere around 5 to 7, and some start younger in a playful class. The ukulele is small, light and has soft nylon strings, so it is gentler on young fingers than a steel-string guitar. Being able to focus for a short lesson matters more than the exact age. Adults can start at any age.
There are four common sizes: soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. The soprano, the smallest, is a common choice for young children. Concert is a little larger with more room between the frets, a common choice for older children and adult beginners. Tenor suits teens and adults. Baritone is tuned like the top four strings of a guitar, so it is not the usual starting point.

Standard tuning, from the string nearest your face to the one nearest the floor, is G, C, E and A. The G is tuned high, which gives the ukulele its bright sound. Our free ukulele tuner, linked in the guides below, works in your browser with your device’s microphone.
Yes. Ukulele chord shapes look very like guitar shapes on the top four strings, though they sound a fourth higher, so finger habits carry over. Many children start on ukulele and move to guitar when their hands are bigger.
Your teacher shows you how to hold the ukulele, tunes it with you, and teaches a first chord or two with a simple strum. Many beginners leave the first lesson strumming along to a short song.
