Ukulele Lessons

A.J. Leonard's ukulele career began in the flourishing live folk scene in Melbourne in the late 1970’s. During this time he was fortunate to meet expert ukulele player Bernie Mulcahy who had been playing uke since the 1920’s. A.J. was able to learn many specialist-strumming patterns from someone who had played during the golden era of ukulele.

In the intervening years A.J. has explored many musical genres both old and new and brings his collective knowledge to lessons for others to share the experience. He has long believed the ukulele to be an underrated instrument that is capable of enriching and inspiring both performers and listeners. His lessons feature a modern take on old and new songs colouring them with varied inversions, strumming and finger picking patterns.
