Ukulele Lessons in Paris Information

Our ukulele lessons in Paris are open to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students of all ages. Our teachers come directly to you at the day and time of your choosing for you to enjoy lessons in the comfort of your own home. All lessons are taught in English.

Join the Conservatory to start ukulele lessons in Paris any time of the year. Below is information about what we offer, how to sign up, and valuable resources if you are new to Paris.

About the Ukulele

The ukulele, with its bright and cheerful tone, is a small, four-stringed instrument that lends itself to a wide range of musical styles. It is characterized by its ease of playability, portable size, and ability to produce melodic and rhythmic accompaniments, making it an accessible and versatile instrument for musicians of all levels.

The ukulele is an instrument that can be started from approximately 6 years old. We recommend starting with the guitar (if you envision playing guitar as well) and then adding the ukulele as an auxiliary instrument. It is easier to start with guitar and then add the ukulele, not vice versa. It is a fun choice of instrument for beginner teenagers and adults.

Our Teachers

All of our teachers hold university degrees specifically in their instrument. We selected them for their passion for music and care for teaching. They are always encouraging and positive, catering to each student’s interests, desires, and goals. We teach with an “American Approach” to music education with your hands on the instrument from the first day (read our blogpost about the American Approach).

Free Trial Lesson

A free 45-minute trial lesson is offered to all new students. We want to ensure the teacher we chose for you is the right match!

Ukulele Lessons Options

We offer 45-minute or 1-hour weekly lessons. For children under 8 years old, we also offer 30-minute weekly lessons. Paired lessons are possible with a sibling or friend at the same location and at the same time. Ukulele lessons in Paris take place at your home on the day and time you choose. If you do not wish to have lessons at home for any reason, we can organize a studio for you in Paris.

What You Will Learn

Ukulele lessons will include learning the essential chords that form the backbone of countless songs, strumming patterns and techniques, exploring a diverse repertoire, and developing performance skills. If you do not have a ukulele yet, please see the useful resources below.

Styles of Music

All styles of music are taught: classical, pop, jazz, rock, folk, etc.

2 Performances / Year

Two performance opportunities are given to all students in a beautiful Parisian hall – one at the end of January and one at the beginning of June.

Practice Planner

All students are given a Practice Planner for teachers to mark weekly assignments and students to record their practice.

Introduction Call

Before you sign up, our admissions team is available to speak about your personal musical goals and desires and to answer any questions you may have.

ABRSM Prep

The Conservatory prepares about 25% of our student body for optional ABRSM exams. These exams are not mandatory.

ABRSM exams are designed to motivate students of all levels and ages, giving them realistic goals and tangible rewards for their achievements. Since 1889, ABRSM has provided music teachers and their students with exams and assessments that nurture and evaluate an individual’s performance and progress. To learn the complete details of these exams, please visit www.abrsm.org or read our blog post.
