Although you can trace its origins to Portugal’s guitar-like branguinha, the ukulele first became a sensation in the 19th century across the Hawaiian Islands. Its inimitable sound has been associated with that Pacific paradise ever since, which must explain why it stirs up such instant feel-good vibes. When just listening to the ukulele sparks a smile, think how much fun you’ll have strumming those sweet strings yourself—and you’ll learn how in this delightful 90-minute class with well-known instructor Jacob Sayraf (a.k.a., Ukulele Jake).
Jake has toured around the world performing and introducing students of all ages to the joy of uke. No musical experience is needed: Just bring your own instrument and, as Jake says, “a pocketful of dreams.” He’ll kick things off by showing you how to tune up and then you’ll get right into it, learning to shape the basic chords that become actual melodies. “No pomp and circumstance,” is Jake’s approach. “You come to learn how to play and sing some songs, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

This experience is an amazing gift that's especially fun to share with a friend or give to a couple, family members, and anyone who wants to get in touch with their musical side. By the end of class, you’ll have learned three whole songs and the basics that’ll let you play many more. While we don’t guarantee that you can strum your way to happiness, this is a pretty good place to start.
