You won't need to know any music notation, or music theory, to play from a beginner to advanced; and you'll never play your ukulele in the same way ever again.
Practice techniques taught here all follow the same principles of development of a high level athlete. Routines are established where repetition is key, learning is in tiny modules, playing slowly while aiming for quality and precision over speed and immediate gratification. A focused learner will be assisted by the structure of music, with chord shapes and positioning. Fingerpicking & strumming techniques, and elements to add colour and texture to each tune you play.

If you love traditional folk blues, and/or boogie, and/or ragtime, you'll really enjoy one of my concerts, where I feature many custom built ukes, using their special features and unique voices to create sounds from ukes that will amaze and inspire you to play.

4StringFestival & Events
This year the date is November 22-24, 2024 at the Helensville A&P Show Grounds Hall.
On Monday Nov 25th the feature artists from the 4StringFestival will perform a concert at the Devonport Folk Music Club starting at 8:00 pm, tickets at the door.
Each year I organize and host a 4StringFestival in New Zealand and Australia, that grows every year with fun, learning, featured artist concerts, blackboard concerts and many other accomplishments, out of discovering that ukuleles have the potential for us all to play other 4String instruments with very little limitations.
It's become an annual gathering of our 4String family, using many 4 stringed instruments.
The next Australian 4StringFestival is in Sydney on August 9 & 10, 2025.
