Ukulele Quest
Ukulele Quest aims to spread the joy of learning ukulele to everyone. We provide online courses, videos and a fun method book for beginners. We believe that you learn best by playing the coolest songs possible.
We also want to arm teachers who are unsure where to start a quality course that is in line with the national curriculum. This is all provided in our book 'Ukulele Quest' available here:

Ukulele Quest Method Book
Ukulele Quest is a book designed to teach children ukulele through different genres of music. It has been written by two ukulele specialists for Bristols music hub (BPM) who both teach over 270 children a week ukulele in a classroom situation.
It uniquely teaches chords, different genres of music, how to read sheet music and is written to fulfil the primary music education curriculum. It can be picked up by a student or classroom teacher with no previous experience of the ukulele and uses exclusively designed pictures and audio recordings.
