"Since 2016 I've helped adults of all backgrounds learn ukulele in a simple, fun way. My relaxed style and supportive online culture make it possible to play songs you love—even if you’ve never picked up an instrument before. As a pro bass player and guitarist, I toured and recorded internationally before becoming a music teacher at my kids school. Now I help people like you bring the joy of playing music into your everyday life. I love it! Come and join us! It's just a laugh!" Matt Parkin
