I am pleased to have finally found a proficient music teacher to coach me on improving my ukulele playing skills. Glenn is an accomplished, highly qualified professional with strong musical background and instruction experience. With his guidance, I have made satisfying progress with growing confidence since signing up for weekly half-hour private lessons. What I like most is that he's patient and encouraging, empowering me to learn at my own pace and capabilities towards my goal, while clearly pinpointing an area that merits further refinement at each session.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonDay one: explanation of how to hold the instruments, finger numbers, basic hand positions. Probably start on a scale and an easy song, and maybe some chords, depending on how it goes.
Lesson 11+We’re at the point where the student can start playing in different styles and improvising, basic solos and chord substitutions, as well as more advanced right hand work. Again everybody’s different and it’s up to the student how far they want to be pushed along.
Lesson 4-10Beginning to use the entire neck with more advanced chords and songs. Everybody’s different so from here on in it’s up to the student. My job is to keep it fun, and keep you coming back.
Lesson 2-3More scales, songs that are slightly more challenging, and maybe some drum and picking patterns, as well as other chords
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFigure out where the student is in terms of music, knowledge and technique. Sometimes a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, they may need to step back a bit to refine their technique.
Lesson 11+The journey just keeps going….
Lesson 4-10Beginning to integrate more theory into how Music works and creating your own music, which is a great reward
Lesson 2-3Building upon the first lesson, we start to takeoff with more advanced harmony, and songs, and if necessary, soloing and improvising over this music
Youth players
Working with kidsStep number one-make friends with the student. They should feel at ease and trust me and realize that music is gonna be a lot of fun first and foremost.
Working with teenagersStep number one, make friends and lighten up. Everybody’s different, and I want them to feel at ease, and I respect their choices with what types of music they wish to pursue. If they don’t have any preconceived direction, I have lots of suggestions!
What you need to bringYour instrument, and the music that we’re working on. I write out all my own teaching stuff and songs, so you don’t need a book, but do you get a three ring notebook with clear plastic page protectors, as I will be giving you sheets with chords, scales, songs, etc. i’m pretty organized, and like my students to be the same.
What I can bringI have amps and instruments if necessary
