It is so obvious you were an elementary music teacher, and not just a musician sharing what you know. The way you explain every tiny detail, like HOW to switch between chords, makes learning ukulele so easy. I’m currently teaching myself ukulele so I can hopefully start teaching it at school (if I can get a class set of ukes). I’ll definitely be referring back to these videos and using some of your techniques. Love the "mouse in the house" trick! Thanks for all of these amazing videos!

Day 3 on my absolute beginner ukelele journey, stumbled upon your channel on my feed. I have, however, watched a lot of ukelele KZfaq tutorials. Your videos always bring a smile to my face. Be it the "look up", "don't leave", or "looks, I will wait" moments, you always seem to have some pleasant small details that surprise me in the videos. Those thoughtful moments make you not only a great music teacher, but a total charm to watch. There are many other great ukelele players and good teachers making videos too, but you are adorable in your own way and are valued for it. I will definitely follow and check out your other links/resources too. Thank you! :)

This my second day with the ukulele. Yesterday, I had trouble with chord changes and the down up strumming. I kept at it and was able to play the chords clearly. At some point the down up strumming clicked with me. I’m having so much fun. I can’t wait to learn more. Thank you so much, Bernadette.

I'm approaching 72 years old and have had 4 or 5 guitars through my lifetime and because of my wide hands with short stubby fingers could never get any more than a couple of chords right. I went for a harmonica instead!! It was suggested I try a Uke and so glad I did. Now I know its just practice, practice and more but I think I'm going to like this.

That's it exactly, I didn't realize. I have ADD and can't follow the fingering on a lot of teachings. It is very helpful that she shows the chord from different angles, shows you how to get there from other chords. Plus she gives the graphics.

OMG THIS WAS SO INSIGHTFUL I LOVED THIS. It feels like a real in person class, just without all the people around me, but even then we have the cat. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS, you’ll definitely be the creator I go too for tutorials

Hey there i just wanted to say thank you! I've been planning to learn the ukulele a couple weeks ago but i haven't found a video that really thought me as much as yours did! I felt like i was really on your class learning with you and i'm also wanting to start the 30 day uke course starting tomorrow so wish me luck!

I just picked up a Ukulele and have watched several how to play tutorials. not one of them start with the basics of how to hold your instrument. and most start with C and jumt to more complicated chords. I LOVE that you start at the true beginning and take the baby steps that I need. without making me feel dumb. you cover all the things that need covered while instilling a feeling of accomplishment and the feeling that I may actually be able to learn. now if I can find someone with as much patients to teach me to read music haha. I have subscribed and liked and will be watching more and more. you are amazing!!!! AMAZING!!! thank you SO much.

I really love your ukulele lessons. I didn't get my own ukulele for practicing yet but still i'm taking these lessons for some knowledge regarding ukes.
