Ukulele Lessons Needed - Bedfordshire Area

[Dan]

I am really keen on learning how to play the Ukuele but i can't find a tutor.
I would prefer to have a tutor than just watch youtube videos.
could anybody perhaps tell me of somebody who teaches?
I live in bedford and i am 15
Thanks :)

Hi Dan, and welcome to FRUK

I'm not sure, but I think you might be our youngest member. :hurray:
You'll find lots of encouragement here, and everyone's very friendly.

Re the Uke:-

I posted once before about a Ukele site, which you might find useful:-

Here's also a list of guitar teachers in Bedford, if you contact one of them, they might be able to put you right re a teacher.

Failing that, ask at your local Music shop - they often have their finger on the pulse about such things, I know ours is very good.

It seems that the Uke is really taking off in the popularity stakes recently - I wonder what has caused this?

Good luck with your quest

Bob

PS. Have you seen this youtube?

YouTube - while my ukelele gently weeps

Hi, Dan.

Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near Bedfordshire, but welcome to FRUK.

Dan, if not yet sorted, nip over to Hobgoblin Music at Newport Pagnell - books and dvds available from there - and a good range of ukes too.

Hi Ukeshale, and welcome to the FRUK forum.

Suddenly everyone is playing ukes. What's going on? What's influencing the uke scene?;)

Thanks for the kind welcome. I really couldn't tell you what's made it explode in such a way, especially this year. I've been playing for about a year now. I'd spent most of my life exclusively on piano, prior to uke.

oh and can I just say that for anybody who's looking for ukulele lessons, theory and just all round sound advice for everything from strings to the pesky E chord - check out Ukulele Underground - Free online video ukulele lessons, tabs, chords, and the largest ukulele forum on the internet! - i frequent there and you won't find a friendlier bunch of people. plus they use exactly the same forum outlay as this place :)

Great stuff, uke.
It's good to hear there's another place that's really friendly.
This site is tops! ;)

Play on! :thumbsup:
