Recent reviews of Ukulele Course for Beginners

  • 5/5 from Linda Woodley, attended Jun 2026: This class was the most fun I’ve had in ages. Lindy’s teaching style is simply delightful and every moment was a joy and a laugh, while we were learning everything we needed to know about the uke. We were playing a song within the first 10 minutes!! By the end of the class, we were all strumming popular tunes and knew enough chords to continue playing our favourite songs at home. I loved every moment of this class with Lindy. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Melissa Jovanovic, attended Jun 2026: Lindy is a fantastic teacher. The lessons were well paced, informative and fun. She had us playing songs before we knew it. Lots of laughs. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Christy Goodyear, attended Feb 2026: A life changing-mood changing experience! Lindy is the most accommodating and uplifting person, I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. While sharing her vast knowledge and experience of Ukulele and tailoring the learning to meet us exactly where we were were in our Uke journey-she had me playing and laughing and even after I returned home I kept the positive-vibe she so freely emits. She is so animated, yet professional at the same time. I was ready to go home and practice several songs from a downloadable book that is supplied when you sign up! Since the class, I have been inspired to purchase a new Ukulele and happily continue in my Ukulele learning journey If you are fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to learn Ukulele with Lindy Sardelic, grab onto it and don't let this one pass you by!
