She's 6 now and I would like to get her started so I got her a little 4 string ukelele for now since she's too small for a 3/4 acoustic.

I'm not sure if I'm missing anything but is there a section for ukelele learning? Or what would be the best way to translate my acoustic learning to her ukelele learning?

Hi Jessfindlayy,

I'm so glad that you're interested in getting your daughter started on learning how to play. We do not have ukulele lessons. Our lessons are focused on 6-stringed guitars.

A guitar and a ukulele are also tuned different in addition to the differences in the number of strings. Translating your acoustic guitar learning to her ukulele learning would be a little different since ukulele uses different fingers to play the same chords, etc.

I suggest looking up some ukulele chords and going about it that way.


If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us.

The Baritone Ukulele has a similar tuning to a Guitar, with the missing lower strings 5 & 6. It's a gateway instrument to the Guitar.
