Ukulele teacher profile

Lorraine Bow

If I can play ukulele, everyone can, I believe. I want to open up fretted instrument playing to everyone. I successfully teach ukulele to hundreds of children and adults per week in term time. I'm sure you can play too. Company workshops and adult classes move quickly -you'll strum a tune within an hour.  You'll connect with new people, enjoy music making and singing. (you don't have to be a great singer, if everyone sings they only hear themselves)  You are also likely to make new friends. 

I won't baffle you with science. You'll progress and play ukulele quickly even with no prior music education. (If you practise for 10 minutes per day inbetween classes.)

I have 3 enhanced CRB disclosures. In the day I teach whole ukulele classes of children in schools (classes of 30 x 8 & 9 year olds at once) or groups of 5-50 adults at company team building workshops or away days.

My background:

I was taught how to play ukulele by Hester & George from the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in 2007. Prior to that I had played 'London's Burning' badly on the recorder at school.  I remember how it feels to be unable to play a stringed instrument, or any instrument for that matter!  For this reason, I'm a very patient ukulele teacher, and will hold your hand through your first steps.  I started the ukulele jam night, Ukulele Wednesdays , and the band KaraUke, which luckily, have both been very successful.
