I can teach you to play and sing your favorite songs!

I have been teaching adults and children to play the Ukulele for several years. Recently, due to the Covid crisis, I have moved my lessons online allowing me to expand my reach to students everywhere!

I am committed to helping you enjoy and excel in playing the music you love!  You will find the lessons fun, helpful, and always inspiring.

Music is such a great outlet for mental energy, creativity and frustrations; especially during these scary and uncertain times. I can teach you if you've never picked up your uke before, or if you've been playing for awhile and want help reaching that next level.  If you don't own one, I can help you pick out the perfect one that will quickly become a part of who you are.

I will customize your lessons to help you meet your goals, as a starting point we will work on: 

  • Tuning, care and basics of your Ukulele

  • Understanding chords and chord charts

  • Transitioning between chords

  • Various strumming patterns

  • Finger picking

  • Learning to play and sing your favorite songs

  • Songwriting (optional)

  • Tips and tricks for entertaining a live audience

Testimonials:
I've learned so many songs over the last two years with Mrs. Sara.  She is really helpful and fun to learn with!  I like playing songs with her because when I mess up, she keeps me going and we just laugh and move on.  You probably won't find a better teacher than her! 
~Edyn, 10 year old student
Sara makes it really fun and no pressure.  She doesn't judge you if you make a mistake and is the best teacher anyone could have.
~Avery, 10 year old student
Mrs. Sara has been an amazing instructor and her passion for what she does clearly shows in her work. She listens to her students input and centers her classes around what they are interested in.  Ukulele has become an outlet for my daughter when she is frustrated, feeling down, or just wants to jam and have fun.  With Mrs. Sara's help and encouragement, my daughter is often times challenging herself to learn new songs and better her skills on her free time.  She always looks forward to the time she has with Mrs. Sara and strives "to be as good as her someday".
~ Christin, proud and thankful parent 
Sara is an amazing teacher. My 10 year old daughter LOVES her. My daughter has been playing for almost two years now and plays great and with confidence, all thanks to Sara. 

Thank you Sara for giving our daughter the gift of music.

My daughter has been working with Miss Sara and watching her go from barely strumming a note to linking chords while singing along makes my heart melt.

Sara has been wonderful to work with from day 1!  My daughter originally began working with her after school with a group of elementary school friends and quickly picked up a love of ukelele.  Sara was so patient as well as educational to the kids.  She held a recital with the group to showcase what the kids had learned over the previous months and it was fun to see the progress they had made.  The smiles on their faces were priceless!  Sara is passionate about her hobby and loves sharing her love of music with the kids.  I feel so proud and overjoyed when I hear her playing in her room at random times!  We moved out of the area shortly after lessons began and Sara has been kind enough to allow my daughter to join in on their Zoom lessons and it's been wonderful to see the collaboration between the kids online.  Thank you Sara-I can't thank you enough for bringing your gift to the kids!

Coming from a family of uke players, I’ve always felt intimidated, yet Sara has given me confidence to learn as an adult. I played along with Saras after school Uke Club and helped her get the kids fingers on the right strings. It’s been amazing to see how she’s held her students together and progress as we’ve been forced into online format. However, this also provides a tremendous opportunity for families around the state, and world to participate as it’s more available to folks that are limited for travel to weekly classes whether due to distance/expense or schedules, and also helps those that just don’t have access to local music programs!!!! I personally was traveling 1 hour each way to participate in Uke Club, and I’m now able to participate from home or while on the road for my work travel.... I have family in WA state eager to sign up too!
