Ukulele is a wonderful instrument in and of itself, and also a great on-ramp to guitar for younger students, especially young singers. Ukulele is great for new students who want to sing and play, and is a fantastic way for young kids to get introduced to many musical concepts. With just a few easy-to-make chords, ukulele students can begin singing many of their favorite songs, with the help of the right instructor. Ukulele is highly recommended as a starting point before guitar for ages 8 and below, and can transition to guitar when the time is right.
