Learn to Play

You bought a ukulele! Now what?

IanAndGary

You have come to the right place.

Step One: Can you attend classes in Lakewood, Colorado?  If you live in the Denver area and want an in-person experience, Ian is a great teacher with a lot of musical knowledge and years of ukulele background. Follow this link and keyword search "Ukulele": Lakewood Arts

Step Two: If you'd rather learn our system online, we recommend you get started by completing Book 1 at Jolly Roger Ukulele.

You should know: We teach zillions of classes and they're super cheap (on purpose)! We'll make you a great player if you'll practice a teeny bit and keep showing up. We've been doing this a long time and have a system that works. Pick a way that is most comfortable for you to learn and we'll rawk your socks off together. It will lead you to headlining (probably) at Red Rocks.

Rocky Mountain Ukulele Orchestra offers the most options at better prices than anyplace else. Don't be confused by our rates ... our programs are WORLD CLASS and if you live near Denver you have access to the most advanced community ukulele program on Earth. We're not messing around with this! You'll find prettier teachers on YouTube, more famous ukulele-ists at a local festival, cool bro's teaching the song you like just about everywhere, but you won't find a program as expansive and comprehensive as this one. You are in the right place if you'll keep showing up and if you'll practice a little bit.

Whether you're new to music or the ukulele, or if you've been playing awhile, before showing up to play with the orchestra, you're gonna need to get on the same wavelength with us. We have a daring plan to dominate the known universe and tackling the orchestra without some background can easily overwhelm even the hardiest of souls.

We will teach you to survive a large orchestra, encourage you to play with smaller groups, and even become a legendary soloist if you wanna put in the work. We don't believe in life-long lessons, we believe in life-long making music in solo and ensemble settings.

Workshops at YOUR Location

  • We offer ukulele team-building workshops and ukulele camps for kids and adults all over Colorado. If you've fallen in love with the ukulele, you can bet there are others at your workplace or in your community that would love to join you in the fun.
  • Times, locations, and fees are all negotiable, so drop us an email and let us know what your big idea sounds like and we can help you turn it into ukulele magic. Email: info@ukuleleorchestra.org

Private Lessons

  • We know the best teachers in town. Some teach different styles or methods. Send us an email to get more details at info@ukuleleorchestra.org
 

Subscribe to Our Newsletter

We only bug ya about super important ukulele stuff. If you decide later you think free ukulele music, great jokes, and rare four-stringed opportunities are lame-o, it will be easy to unsubscribe. FYI, we get lots of robot registrations and so we delete any entries without last names. Robots do not know they are supposed to have those.
