Inspiring the young with music

The ukulele is the ideal instrument for students who are unsure if they will learn music and do not want to break the bank on their first instrument. The ukulele is also a suitable choice for beginners because it is cheaper and requires less effort to maintain.

The ukulele is the better instrument to start with, as it has a much gentler learning curve than the guitar. Beginners who aren’t yet ready to fully commit to learning music should also consider this option.

The ukulele is a small four-stringed instrument that originated from Hawaii. It’s become increasingly popular as a children’s first musical instrument, especially with the rise of new YouTube stars such as Tyler Ward and Christina Grimmie performing pop covers on their ukuleles.
