What my students have said about my Ukulele classes:
Claire many thanks for helping me reach this stage. I am delighted to be able to pick up my ukulele and feel confident to play the songs I’ve learned. It’s a great feeling. I was very happy with your classes . You were always there for us if we needed you. You gave us personal tuition. Claire to be at this stage is brilliant and was always my ambition. I am looking forward to continuing with the classes
Very relaxed environment for me to learn as a real beginner. Music recordings on dropbox helped me to learn the tune & strum timing.
Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Learnt a lot of chords & different strums. Had fun!
Really enjoyed the social aspect that went along with learning a new instrument. Small group was great & really supportive.
Claire is a brilliant teacher and the pace is perfect and sending the recordings on dropbox is a great way of practising.
