The ukulele is a great musical instrument to learn and just about the best musical instrument to learn first! With only 4 strings it is easier to master than the guitar, yet is wonderfully expressive and fun. A beginner can play a song almost immediately, and a pro can do wonders with it. It is also a great for accompanying singing of all types from traditional Hawaiian to folk music to American standards to rock and roll.
Basic Ukulele is designed for kids kindergarten to 3rd grade who want to pick up their first fretted musical instrument. Whether your longtime goal is to learn the guitar or to become a ukulele aficionado, this is a great place to start!
The Shedd has ukuleles available to rent.
