Claudia said: I was surprised by how effective and unintimidating this course was: a testimony to John Chandler's style and talent as a teacher and muso, I'm sure. John was friendly, encouraging, a patient teacher and a knowledgeable musician. I really liked that he offered theory behind the chord construction and little stories about the instrument's history and heritage along the way. Thanks for running this course. I'll be sure to recommend it when others ask me where I learned to play the ukelele with such skill and flair ;)
