What is The Ilkley Beginner Ukulele Course
For over 20 years I have taught music in a number of settings, be it one-to-one, small and large groups. I have taught and mentored local ensembles and even led my own pop/rock band of original material around the world. My work recently has almost exclusively involved one-to-one tuition from my home, teaching guitar, keyboard, ukulele, bass plus music theory and music production.
Students are currently travelling from Ben Rhydding, Ilkley, Addingham, Menston, Burley in Wharfedale, Otley, Keighley, Skipton, Guiseley, Bolton Abbey, Bradford, Leeds City Centre plus in various countries online.
Due to a high volume of inquiries, I sometimes find myself unable to accommodate prospective pupils for beginner ukulele lessons.
So I've created a short course - The Ilkley Beginner Ukulele Course - an affordable short beginner group ukulele course which runs for ten weeks for soprano, concert and tenor ukulele players.
