Swing your uke, sing the songs of the golden jazz era, and get shakin’
Learn the songs of the jazz age. Swing them with me.
Ukulele Swing School will help you swing your uke.
Your uke is a time machine. Let’s travel to the golden jazz era.
I’ve been teaching ukulele as an independent musician since 2012 and here at Ukulele Swing School I’m offering you my suggestions for the next great old swing tune that you can start strumming right away—and the techniques you need to make it sound great.
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.

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!
