Searching for Lessons

With the number of lessons at 146 and growing, it can, at times, be hard to find what you're looking for. I created the lessons and have a hard time finding the right lesson at times.

Here is a page of lesson summaries of all lessons.

I also use the Lessons Search page to find lessons.

Welcome to the online lessons section of the site. We, I, Me is-are a small independent publishing company catering to the musical needs of musicians worldwide. My site includes resources, links, lessons, TABs, play-along tracks, videos and related goodies to help you develop as a musician and enjoy your choosen instrument to the fullest.

I started my publishing “empire” of one in 1995 with the QuickStart Series of Scale Fingering books and have been on the web ever since. I have over 40 years of playing experience and 20 plus years of private teaching experience. I have authored over 40 books for guitar and ukulele. I have peformed and presented concerts, clinics and workshops across the USA at various ukulele festivals and shows.

Taking advantage of my jazz guitar skills, I began pursuing the potential of the ukulele. Researching the field I saw very little material organized at an intermediate or advanced level that really worked for players wanting to explore the ukulele beyond the basics. I have developed an international reputation as a ukulele educator having written many books on the subject of ukulele.

There are over 146 lessons available, pretty much all are FREE. With more being added all the time.

Don't be fooled into thinking, what most ukulele players will tell you that the ukulele is an easy instrument to learn. A few basic open position chords and simple strums are relatively easy to learn. Beyond the basics it gets a little harder. So, don't be fooled into thinking that there is a magic potion for learning the ukulele, or any instrument. ( PS. I just really wanted to use the wizard cartoon. )

The music you play can be as simple or complex as you want. The Ukulele is a powerful musical instrument for communication.

I have between 40 to 70 private guitar, bass and ukulele students a week and everyone one them is different. They each have different goals and experience they bring to the lessons. Every student receives a lesson customized, based on their goals and what they needed to accomplish their goals.

Just as there wouldn't be one book that I could use for every student. There can't be one single web site organization that would work for all visitors and students. Believe me I tried, it really needs to be customized to the individual player and student's goals.

What most players really need is a guide or coach to help them pick and choose their way through the vast amount of material available, more in today's Internet age then ever. Your the Explorer and I'll be your Guide. I've done the organization and work - you can benefit from this.

That's just what I'm now offering, my personal guidance and coaching - one-on-one private lessons. It would be the same as if you where a current private student of you could travel to my home studio for lessons - but, a lot cheaper. My private, in-studio lesson fee is $100 to $125 for a month of one half hour each, one-on-one lesson. For as low as $39 a month I'll guide you through the maze of material available on my site. Using email, skype and phone I'll give you that personal one-on-one treatment that all my private students get. The price also includes access to any of my books as free downloads that we use as part of the lessons and my custom premium play-along tracks. It will be like getting a master class whenever you like.

Lessons can be taken using video via skype or even a speaker phone.

Both Personal One-on-one Coaching and Lesson Plans include:

• Initial analysis and assessment of your current skills and goals
• Personal Student Assets & Resources for books, lessons, songs and session notes.
• Personalized plan and learning materials
• FREE downloads of any of my books used in your sessions using your Student Assets & Resources
• Unlimited private email correspondence
• Unlimited 24/7 access to ALL your Student Assets & Resources, including premium play-along tracks and their lead sheets
• Unlimited 24/7 access to downloads of any of my books used in your sessions
• Full access to online student forum and discussion. ( coming at a later date )

These are introductory offers good for 2012. After that there will most likely be a price increase. However, all active students will NOT be subject to any price increase as long as they remain active students.
