New! Ukulele by the pond! Note: ukulele by the pond is closed for the winter and will be offered again in the Spring of 2021
Disclaimer: regarding the term ukulele therapy. I am not a licensed therapist. I'm just a singer and ukulele player and voice/ukulele teacher who has noticed that music is therapeutic. I have had many people tell me that just listening to me play my ukulele and sing makes them feel better. I also have many students that tell me that singing and playing with me during our lessons always lifts their spirits. The idea of ukulele lessons and therapy by my pond was one that I have been toying with in my head for a long time. Long before the corona virus pandemic struck, but my neighborhood is hard to park in and I was worried about always having to have my bathrooms clean and things like that but since covid everything changed and suddenly I had no music gigs and my traveling ukulele teacher and jam mistress gig was going out the window too! Then when my students went virtual due to Covid-19 I did a couple of lessons by my pond and got great feedback. My students love my fish swimming around in the background so I have now added a whole new aspect to my services.
you may wonder, what happens on a rainy day? I will still try to have the pond in the background through a sliding glass door even if I have to move myself indoors due to weather.

Ukulele, Song & Fishes!
Along with a love of music, I also have a love for animals and nature. My partner Steph and I had always had a dream of having a koi pond and with a lot of DIY ingenuity and perseverance, and a lot of hard work, over the past 20 years we have created this little paradise in our backyard! I'm sharing it with you via video chat during this time of social distancing. So come on and hang out with me virtually by the pond and play along or don't. If you’re a beginner we will start with some classic songs that are easy and most people know. If you can already play and know the basics I can teach you songs that YOU want to learn on your ukulele. I'm offering a 50% discount on your first session. contacting me via e-mail at ukulelelady.jv.com

LESSONS + THERAPYYou can either get lessons or just play along with me. We can also chat if you like. I can teach you how to play songs that you want to learn or help you with singing or we can just chill and hang out for a while. The koi pond will be in the background behind me.

MUSIC THERAPYNo participation required. I can serenade you with my original music or whatever kind of music you like. I will try and take requests too! You can watch me or I can turn the video on the fish instead while you just listed and watch the fish!

THIS IDEA WAS BORN BECAUSE A STUDENT OF MINE CALLED ME AFTER BEING ON HIATUS FOR A WHILE. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS REALiZING THAT SHE HAD GIVEN UP PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING IN HER LIFE THAT BROUGHT HER JOY. ONE OF THOSE THINGS WERE LESSONS WITH ME! SHE SAID THAT THINGS WERE GETTING SO STRESSFUL IN HER LIFE THAT SHE HAD BEEN CONSIDERING GOING TO THERAPY BUT THE THERAPIST CHARGED $300.00 PER HOUR! SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS CALLING BECAUSE INSTEAD OF GOING TO THERAPY, SHE HAD DECIDED TO TAKE UKULELE LESSONS AGAIN FROM ME AGAIN BECAUSE SHE SAID, AND I QUOTE: "LESSONS WITH YOU ARE TWICE AS EFFECTIVE AS THERAPY AND MUCH CHEAPER!"
