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.

You Might Fit Right In Here If…

  • you’ve always wanted to play but felt intimidated

  • you tried lessons before and got overwhelmed

  • you love folk, singer-songwriter, or acoustic 60s/70s retro classics

  • you want a patient teacher and a relaxed pace

  • you’re looking for a positive first music experience for your child

  • you want to enjoy music instead of feeling pressured by it

Tried playing and it didn’t work out?
New to guitar and want a friendly, approachable introduction to playing?
