Buying a Ukulele
Students should come to the first class with their own ukulele if possible. You may borrow from our limited supply while shopping, if needed. I have listed a few options for quality instruments in the budget/beginner price range. You are certainly welcome to buy something nicer, if you’d like! Be careful of cheap ukuleles that are available online. The ukuleles below (not affiliate links) are quality instruments that I have played or researched. Please feel to reach out if you need help shopping. lisa@mymusiconthemove.com
