Swing your uke, sing the songs of the golden jazz era, and get shakin’

Hi, I’m Sage, and I teach swing ukulele!

Learn the songs of the jazz age. Swing them with me.

Your uke is a time machine. Let’s travel to the golden jazz era.

There are so many fabulous tunes out there that deserve to be strummed, and together we’ll sing em.

Sage did a fine job of breaking the song into bits so that we can do it, and repeating the pieces with her over and over made it stick. I like her arrangement because the chord progressions make it sound kind of fancy without it being too hard. Last, but not least, Sage has such a beautiful singing voice. Thank you!

Who am I, anyway?

I’m Sage, and I’ve been playing ukulele since a friend sold me his barely-touched one in 2010. It must have been fate: I fell in love with the instrument immediately! The uke suits me—and my life-long love of jazz and American folk music—so very well.

I’ve been teaching ukulele for over a decade and have a lifetime’s worth of performance experience.

And when I make music, it sounds like this.

Want some stats? 

Over my musical lifetime I have had …

  • 250 + one on one students
  • 700+ group workshop students
  • 100,000+ youtube views
  • 500+ live shows played
  • 9 (and counting) recorded projects / albums

What are students saying?

Sage is such a good teacher! Friendly and professional, she always has enjoyable teaching material and often inquires as to what I would like to practice, including me in the teaching process. With absolutely zero background in music, I was proud to call myself a musician and a ukulelist after a few lessons only. I fondly look forward to our weekly lessons and I highly recommend Sage to anyone who would like to start playing such a fun and enjoyable instrument!

Sage is so super professional as a ukulele teacher — I’m honestly impressed!

I’m so looking forward to sharing these songs—and amazingly fun ukulele techniques—with you.
