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

How can you collect all the swing tunes you’re hungry for? I’m hoping to make it easy for you, which is why I put together the Lesson Library. When you sign up for the Ukulele Swing Academy, you get access to two different types of video content: an archive of longer-format workshops twice a month, plus bite-sized lesson videos that I deliver to you once a week to guide your practice.
Every Tuesday, I share a brief lesson video with some techniques that you can apply to a tune at hand, that can quickly improve your approach to playing it on the ukulele. In the video, I’ll share the key techniques that each of my arrangements call for. Plus I’ll always include .pdfs of chord charts and lyrics, so you have all the resources you need to strum along and sing.

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!
