Our ukulele teacher is ready to teach you how to play! Students will learn hand placement and movement as well as chords and song structure.

With a unique “play ukulele by ear” approach, lessons will not only be effective but also entertaining. Student of all ages will learn not through rote memorization but through listening, developing a familiarity with the instrument that will better allow them to understand the music and instrument. Ultimately, this approach will allow you to confidently play your favorite tunes on the ukulele!

Our teacher would also be happy to help you with tuning and string replacement. We understand that purchasing an instrument can be expensive, so we would be happy to help you find instruments that suit your particular needs.

​Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT WILL I LEARN IN UKULELE LESSONS?
Our ukulele teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual needs.

If you enroll here for ukulele lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don't know where to begin, we can help!

WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
Students are encouraged to bring in songs that they want to try, but the instructor also has a variety of music to learn from.

ARE YOUR UKULELE INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Our ukulele instructors are highly qualified, all have teaching experience, and most importantly, they have a passion for teaching. Being a musician doesn't automatically make you a teacher--that's why we search for those who are best qualified for mentoring our music students!

We search all over Albuquerque for the top teachers, who embody the high values at Albuquerque Institute of Music. Most importantly, our instructors strive to relate their teaching to each individual student's learning style. Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the USA and Europe and have years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly, and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. We search high and low for the BEST teachers, so you don't have to!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY THE UKULELE?
​There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play the ukulele. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.

I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I STILL HELP MY CHILD PRACTICE?
Yes. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. Parents will occasionally sit in on their child's music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands.
