I like when she said "look up" I suddenly thought she was literally sitting right in front of me and saw me looking down

[kevinbarry]

I think that cat is teacher's pet.

[Itisheylel]

3:03 that “look up real quick” really nudged me from getting over excited with my instrument. T’was spoken from a true teacher who knows her students 😭

[kneesocks]

“Look up”
Me who was definitely not looking: 👁👄👁

[midnightmoth]

That "look up real quick" scared me because it was like she could actually see what i was doing😳 she must really know what beginners are like and that makes me feel comfortable learning from her

im 13 learning the ukulele, YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!

[kelbysappington]

It is so obvious you were an elementary music teacher, and not just a musician sharing what you know. The way you explain every tiny detail, like HOW to switch between chords, makes learning ukulele so easy. I’m currently teaching myself ukulele so I can hopefully start teaching it at school (if I can get a class set of ukes). I’ll definitely be referring back to these videos and using some of your techniques. Love the "mouse in the house" trick! Thanks for all of these amazing videos!

Best way to start playing Ukulele truly is with you Bernadette ❣️ 👍🏻

[victoriaputureanu]

I am 70, and l really enjoy to be your student. I love you sweet lady.Thank you so much! 🥰🤗🙏🙏🙏

[emilkabartyzel]

I’m 12 and I really want to find a new hobby especially since covid and all so thank you so much for this 😄

[sarahhx]

Perfect!!! I just got my ukelele a couple days ago! I’ve been feeling a little discouraged because the finger placement for some chords just seems impossible .... but i’ll keep at it! Thank you for this video 🥰

[wallrussamthiny]

I have learned lots and anyone who is reading the comments your at the right place to get started with the ukulele!

[alisonn]

As someone who has been playing the ukulele for about 2 years now, all of these tips are useful, even for experienced players! Your teaching is easy to follow and so helpful! Thanks!

[donovansiu]

Are you kidding me?! Best teacher ever!!! You actually paused and told us to stretch!

[dola]

20 mins ago i didn't know how to play chords now i learned 4 new chords! Thank you so much

[claudiasclouds]

you seriously don’t know how many lessons i’ve gone through and failed at them all because of how unclear they are but you have literally shown me so well and i definately find your way of teaching most effective because of how impatient i am

[michaelstell]

I am an elementary music teacher and have used your videos to teach myself how to start playing the ukulele. I love your videos and how you use every day teaching techniques from the classroom. I'm still a novice, but can tell my skill set is increasing weekly. Thank you for these tutorials. I would be lost without them.
