Why Learn Ukulele at NewSongs Madison Ave?
The ukulele's smaller size and nylon strings make it highly accessible, but proper technique is still essential. At our Madison Ave campus, students learn fretting and strumming utilizing
Aquila Nylgut strings, the industry standard for student ukuleles that mimic the warm sound of traditional gut strings while holding tune far better than cheap plastics. This ensures our students spend their lessons playing, not constantly returning.
Our ukulele instruction incorporates the
Hal Leonard Ukulele Method, providing a structured progression that meets the
California Music Education Standards (Arts Standards – Music, Grade 6-8, Anchor Standard 2: Organize and Develop Ideas). Students learn to read standard notation and chord charts, laying a solid musical foundation that easily transfers to the guitar later on.
