First and foremost, our ukulele teachers understand that every student is an individual. This means they recognize everyone has unique musical needs and goals. Because of this, we prioritize tailoring our lessons to specifically meet your individual needs.

Therefore, when you enroll for ukulele lessons, your teacher will first ask you about your motivations for learning. Similarly, they’ll work with you to set goals that align with your musical aspirations, whether they’re for yourself or your child. Together, you’ll then develop a personalized plan to achieve those goals! We especially love beginners, so even if you’re unsure where to start, we’re here to help!

Undoubtedly, we offer a vast selection of musical styles, including rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, blues, and classical. In fact, we believe it’s crucial to combine the essential fundamentals with the music that truly speaks to you. With a growing team of over 20 teachers, Irvine Academy of Music is confident you’ll find the perfect instructor to match your musical aspirations.

All of our instructors are highly qualified. They hold music degrees and boast extensive teaching experience. But qualifications are just one piece of the puzzle. Most importantly, they have a burning passion for teaching. After all, being a skilled musician doesn’t automatically make you a great teacher! That’s why we go above and beyond to search and vet only those who are best qualified for mentoring our music students.

More specifically, we’re laser-focused on acquiring Orange County’s top teaching talent. These instructors not only embody the high values at Irvine Academy of Music, but they also strive to tailor their teaching to each individual student’s learning style. For example, many of our instructors have years of professional performance and teaching experience, even performing on tours across the USA and Europe. In addition to their impressive credentials, our teachers possess warm personalities and are extremely friendly. They make a genuine effort to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level.

In summary, we take the task of finding the BEST teachers very seriously, so you don’t have to! We do the hard work of searching high and low, ensuring you have access to passionate instructors who can effectively guide you on your musical journeyA

Admittedly, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how long it takes to learn an instrument. However, with consistent practice, you can definitely achieve a basic playing ability within a few months. That’s a great starting point! Furthermore, many of our students choose to take lessons on a long-term basis. This is because they enjoy the ongoing process of improvement and find the lessons themselves to be a source of enjoyment.

Of course, even if you don’t have a musical background yourself, you can still be a valuable asset in your child’s musical journey. For example, you can ask the teacher for specific advice on how to help your child practice effectively at home. Similarly, simply by monitoring that your child completes their assigned exercises a certain number of times per day, you can contribute to their progress. In addition, some parents occasionally choose to sit in on their child’s music lesson. This can be a great way to gain a better understanding of:

• The proper way a song should sound: Hearing the teacher play the piece correctly can provide a valuable reference point for your child’s practice.
• How the student should be positioning their hands: Observing proper technique can help you gently guide your child during home practice sessions.
