Have you ever dreamed of playing your favorite songs on a sunny beach—or maybe just on your front porch? Whether you’re a total newbie to music or simply curious about learning an instrument, IDLA’s Beginning Ukulele course is your backstage pass to strumming success.
This course is specially designed for absolute beginners. You don’t need to read music, know scales, or even understand what a chord is. If you can count to four and have fingers to strum with, you’re ready to begin. By the end of the course, you’ll be amazed at how confidently you can play full-length versions of songs you love.
Students will need their own ukulele and tuner—but don’t fret! (Yes, we went there.) In the first few lessons, you’ll learn how to choose the right instrument and tuner for your style, budget, and musical goals. Whether you go classic soprano or trendy tenor, you’ll be equipped with everything you need to start strong.

- Learn how to properly hold and tune your ukulele
- Practice basic strumming patterns
- Read and understand tablature and chord charts
- Play foundational chords and progressions
- Compose and share your own melodies
- Jam along to popular tunes with your classmates
It’s not just about playing notes—it’s about developing confidence and rhythm, finding your creative voice, and having fun along the way.
Booming with hands-on opportunities to pick up your uke and play, this course is perfect for anyone who wants to build routine practice habits and develop a strong musical foundation.
