Ukulele lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering ukulele lessons
You teach ukulele to beginners of any age who want simple chords, strumming and songs. This page covers how to win those students and what to have in order before you take them.
What customers ask
- Is ukulele a good first instrument for my child?
- What size ukulele should I buy?
- Can you teach songs I already like?
- Do you teach children, and do you run background checks?
- Do you teach family or group lessons?
- How long until I can play a full song?
How to win the job
- Ask the student which songs they want to sing along to and pick the first chord set around them
- Tune the student's ukulele in the first lesson and show how to check it at home
- Name the first chords and strumming pattern in the quote so the plan is clear
- Explain how you handle sore fingertips and small hands, since beginners raise both early
- Offer a short family session if a parent or sibling wants to join
What to put on your profile
- Post a photo of you playing with the ukulele and your strumming hand visible
- List the ages and skill levels you teach, including children and adults
- Note whether you teach in person, at home or online
- Add any group or community playing experience that backs up your teaching
- Post a short clip of a student's first song only with written permission
Follow-up that helps the customer
- Send a weekly practice plan with chords and a song to play for the next lesson
- Recommend a songbook or chord chart that matches the student's interests
- Suggest a group sing-along or family session once the student is ready
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach ukulele. Have proof of your playing and teaching background ready, such as performance history or references, and check your state or local rules for business or home-based teaching.
Questions
Do I need to teach children to get ukulele students?
No. List the ages you teach. Parents of minors will ask about background checks and your lesson policy, so have those answers ready.
Do I need to know tenor or baritone tuning?
No. Teach standard tuning and say so on your profile. Add other tunings only if you teach them.
