Simple, Encouraging Guitar & Ukulele Lessons for Beginners of All Ages
Learn beginner-friendly guitar and ukulele in a relaxed, supportive way- whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time, returning after years away, or helping a young beginner get started. Basic skills are learned within the context of songs you love, whether that’s today’s hits or the classic 60s and 70s folk, singer-songwriter and acoustic music of my own retro tribe.
Ideal for beginners, returning players, and frustrated learners who want a calmer, simpler approach.
Hi, I’m Lesley Diane
I teach guitar and ukulele with a calm, encouraging approach designed to help beginners feel comfortable, capable, and musical right from the start.
Many of my students are adults rediscovering music later in life. Others are younger beginners learning for the first time.
The goal is the same for everyone:
make learning feel simple, enjoyable, and encouraging.
