testimonials for classes & lessons
“I’ve been playing ukulele for almost five years, and I’m amazed how Khabu’s workshop has been so challenging and engaging for a player at my level as well as several beginnings in the class. After taking an earlier one-off workshop and a private lesson, I knew I wanted to be part of his workshop, and I have not be disappointed. Khabu is that rare great player who also has the patience and insight to be a great teacher to players at all levels. The workshop has varied from wide-ranging music theory, challenging fingering exercises, uncommon rhythms, hypnotic group jams, as well as basic melody and chord techniques. I’ve found it very enriching and entertaining.”

All levels of players will get a challenge, from the absolute beginner to the advanced musician. I never feel like I’m on a plateau when taking Khabu’s classes. My ukulele skills and understanding of music just improve.”
