Group Ukulele Lessons

Ukulele evening classes in London

Our popular evening ukulele lessons are hosted at pubs and bars across central London. 

With 15 - 20 places in each class, they are a perfect size for everyone to get to know each other and enjoy playing together as a group.

Whether you're a complete beginner or the next ukulele virtuoso, we offer a range of fun and engaging group based ukulele courses for all abilities.

Which Course Should I Choose?

Our Ukulele Lessons are designed across 12 levels, intended to loosely correspond to formal music grades.

Choose a course level that you think will be a good fit for your playing experience, music knowledge and aspirations.

You can move around once you've reserved a place on a course. So if your first lesson with us feels too easy or too difficult for you, you can move up or down to join another course level.

Take a look at all 12 course levels below to see which is the best fit for you.

I’ve done 3 classes over the last few years, and it’s always a blast. Playing as a group is very different to playing on your own, and whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you’ll be shown new ways to play and new styles of music. You’ll learn loads, and most importantly you’ll meet great people!

Great teaching and so much fun! Enjoyed every minute while also felt challenged-everyone should learn to play an instrument.

Classes at the Duke of Uke are great fun and each term is different so that your ukulele technique improves while you learn about different musical genres. The teaching is superb, and there’s a real sense of community as you get to know your class and play at end of term concerts. Highly recommended!

I am now in my second year of classes at the school of Uke. I absolutely love it. I arrived as a complete beginner, not being able to play a note and now a year later I am a complete addict.

The atmosphere was incredible, fun, inclusive and comfortable, all allowing us to learn in a relaxed but structured way. Instructors are great, patient, kind, knowledgeable, guiding us through each step with enthusiasm, patience and good humour.

It’s been utterly magnificent getting to spend Tuesday evenings for the past 10 weeks, learning a new skill playing alongside this superb set of humans.

Expect smiles, laughs, fun songs you want to learn and your new found favourite hobby all rolled into one!

I have to say they're brilliant. The tutors are talented and professional musicians so if you want to learn/improve your ukulele and musicianship in a group setting look no further - you're guaranteed a good vibe and you'll meet some really lovely new people too!

This is such a supportive way to learn to play a musical instrument - supported by both the tutors and my fellow students; the perfect balance of challenge, learning and friendship.
