Do You Share Some Of These Common Frustrations?
"Where do I start?" - Most people have a hard time knowing where to start, and in what order to learn things. Should you learn strum patterns first? Chords and chord progressions? What about scales?
"Switching chords is hard." - Can you play a handful of chords but when you try switch from chord to chord does it take too long? Do you have trouble memorizing chords?
"Everything goes too fast." - Playing at home by yourself is fun but when you play along with your favorite song do the chords go by too fast and you get lost?
"I don't have time." - I have kids and a full time job. I would love to sit and play ukulele all day but let's face it, I only have about 20 minutes a day to fit in practice with all my other responsibilities.
"I've tried learning on my own but I'm stuck." - There are lots of options online (YouTube, Instagram, websites, etc.) but it's hard to follow any kind of step-by-step curriculum when each videos is taught by a different person and the content jumps around so much.
Here is what Uke Like The Pros can do for you:
Discover all the chords necessary to play any song that you have every wanted to play. No more wondering "what is that chord shape" when you see chords in songs or see someone else playing. You can start showing others the 'cool' chords you know.
Develop amazing right hand technique. The strumming hand is the most important hand when playing the ukulele. I will show you techniques that will help you develop speed, strength, and dexterity.
Master the different strum patterns used in all styles of music. Finally be able to hear and play any strum pattern in any song whether it's fast or slow, complex or simple. Through the easy to follow videos I will not only show you (both in the video and with a chord diagram), but you can play along with me until you have the chords "locked" in your head and hands.
You'll learn many different styles of music. I'll teach you exactly how to play styles such as pop, rock, jazz, blues, reggae, 'island', country, and fingerstyle. This will open up a whole new world for you as you begin to understand all the nuances that give each style it's unique sound.
Develop a strong sense of rhythm and time. One of the most important aspects of playing music is playing with solid time. Each video has a Backing Track so you can play along with the 'band' and learn how to find the groove and keep solid time.
You'll get a logical and methodical system for learning the ukulele. The lessons were developed so you can decide where you are as a player and pick the appropriate path. Each lesson will build on things you learned from the previous lesson and you can go at your own pace. Choose between Easy, Intermediate, and Advanced lessons. You'll see the difference in your playing as you master each lesson.
Grow your confidence. Feel secure that the information you are learning will help you weather you want to play your favorite songs, write your own songs, play with friends, jam at the beach, or just have a good time in the comfort of your home.
Easy to follow. Each lesson has On-Screen Chords, TAB, and Notation. Keep your eyes on the videos and the screen will show you everything that I am demonstrating to you in the video.
Each lesson has the option to download the sheet music for each song and lesson. This will help you see the entire form structure of the song and will be a great resource to be able to play the songs anywhere, anytime.
Each lesson has a downloadable Backing Track. This will not only help strengthen your rhythm and strumming but will give you the excitement and fun of playing with a band.
"I've been working on the course for several months. It’s a fun and easy-going course while being challenging and making us students set goals for ourselves and our playing. You should know you are an amazing teacher and there’s never a boring moment."

"I am 70 years old and for some reason I decided two years ago to learn how to play the Ukulele. I made all the normal choices and practically lived on youtube trying every idea I could find and getting no where because I ended up confusing myself. And then, somehow or another I ran into TERRY CARTER. I don't know how I found you, but since I did I haven't stop smiling. You have taught me more about music, rhythm and technique then I could have ever learned by my self. You have become one of my favorite people in the whole world. Your patience and just your overall style of communicating with beginners like myself make me really happy I decided to learn to play. I am sending you, as a gift, the blues song I wrote detailing my efforts in learning some music. I am very hopeful you understand how much I you mean to me as I wrote this for you."

"This was the best ukulele course I’ve ever taken. The biggest advantage in this class was that we not only learned new songs but we got some useful practices and we also learned some new scales and methods."

TRY IT FREETime to share my 25 years of experience with you...
I have had opportunties to work in many areas of the music business inlcuding performer, composer, and producer. I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented artists in the world includeing Weezer, Josh Groban, 2 time grammy winning composer Christopher Tin (Calling All Dawns), Robbie Krieger (The Doors), and Duff McKagen (Guns and Roses).
I have always enjoyed studio work and composing music. Throughout my career I have been able to write and perform music for some special shows and events including MTV, Scorpion (CBS), Pitbulls & Parolees (Animal Planet), and PUMA.
I have always been serious and passionate about music education. I began teaching private lessons when I was in High School and it continues to this day. I majored in Music Education at San Diego State University during my undergraduate degree and also taught classes at the university. I went on to get my Master of Music degree from the Univeristy of Southern California where I also taught group and private lessons. I currently still teach for the University of Southern California NAI Program as well as Santa Monica College and Los Angeles Trade Tech College. I truly enjoy sharing with you everything that I have learned as an educator and musician over the last 25 years.
The Fastest Way To Learn Ukulele
Step-By-Step Video Instruction
Every video is filmed with highest quality video production so you can see and hear everything clearly and effortlessly. Close up hand positions shows you everything note, chord and strum pattern I'm playing.
On-Screen TAB and Chords
Every video has on-screen TAB and chords. Embedding the TAB and chords in each video is a very time consuming process for me, but it will help you learn faster and more effectively. You will clearly see how I play the simpliest to the most complex licks.
Downloadable Sheet Music
Each lesson has the option to download the sheet music. This will re-enforce everything that I'm teaching in the lesson and a great way to see the entire structure of the song. Going to meet some friends to jam? Print out the charts to any of the songs or Blues and you'll have music that all your friends can look at and follow along to.
Downloadable Backing Tracks
Playing with other people is one of the most important things you can do as a ukulele player. It helps develop your sense of time, rhythm, and strenghens your ear. At the end of each video lesson I give you the opportunity to play along with me and the backing track. The backing track rhythm section of bass and drums will solidify all the techniques we worked on during the lesson. You have the option of downloading the mp3 backing track so you can jam out anywhere you want. It's like having your very own band in your pocket.
