From The Start: Jazz Ukulele Doesn't Need To Be Hard

Our first Live Ukulele Lesson of the year! 

Live Ukulele Workshop: ‘Jazz Ukulele Doesn’t Need To Be Hard’. Learn From The Start by Laufey.

Jazz often gets a reputation for being complicated… but it really doesn’t need to be.

In this live lesson, I’ll show you the magic of the ii–V–I progression — three simple chords that sit at the heart of so much jazz music. 

Often we’re taught that these progressions work well - but do we really know why? We’ll explore why they work so beautifully together, not just that they do.It’s genuinely fascinating.

To bring it to life, I’ll teach you Laufey’s brilliant song From The Start, and break down how it’s built using this classic progression. 

You’ll see how these chords fit together like perfect friends, and how understanding them opens the door to jazz harmony in a very natural, musical way.

This lesson is suitable for everyone from curious beginners to more advanced players, and we’ll finish with a live Q&A, so bring your questions along.
