Learn to Play – Ukulele Lessons in Vancouver
Pleasant Mountain Music is proud to offer ukulele lessons in Vancouver to all ages and abilities. Ukulele is a superbly accessible instrument in terms of price point, portability, ease of playing, and overall weight. As an introductory instrument, the young beginner, (ages 6-9) can use a soprano ukulele which will fit their growing hands nicely. Eventually students can graduate to a concert or baritone ukulele as they age, or even to the 6-string. Ukuleles are also universally accessible to the older beginner (ages 10-16) as well as to adult (17+) beginners as there are tons of configurations to suit most tastes and goals.
Love to Play – Ukulele Lessons for a lifetime of enjoyment
Our ukulele lessons will cultivate a joy of playing that will last your whole lifetime. From the first time touching the strings, to retirement years, there are an infinite number of moments for joy, groove, and self-expression to be found in playing ukulele. At Pleasant Mountain Music, we recognize that an inflexible regiment of practice that focuses heavily on exams, scales and technique, and reading notation may not appeal to the modern child, teen, or adult. We have taken this into consideration when creating our Love to Play stream for ukulele.
Whether a students’ desire is to learn tab, to be able to informally jam with friends, or to play as an enjoyable pass-time in retirement, there are thousands of reasons to learn to play the uke without having to take exams, sit through festivals, or perform publicly. Sometimes you just want to rock and roll! We want to ensure that all students feel comfortable and included in the process of learning to play. We have several faculty members who welcome Love to Play students on ukulele: Teacher George, Teacher Hugo, and Teacher Chlöe.
