Yes, if you already have an ‘ukulele, please bring it to the Session. We do have a limited amount of ‘ukulele on hand for students who forget to bring theirs, but you will definitely need your own ‘ukulele to practice and play at home.
If you need recommendations on what to look for when purchasing an ‘ukulele based on your skill level and playing style, please Contact Us anytime! We’re always here to help you out.

For ‘Ukulele Group and ‘Ukulele Ensemble, it’s ok if you are only able to attend just one of the Sessions during the week. Aldrine teaches the same lesson on both Monday and Friday, especially since some students can only attend on one of the two days.
If you aren’t able to attend either Monday or Friday in a given week (or Sunday for ‘Ukulele Basics & Jam students), online replays of the week’s Session will be available to you on this website. Simply Log In and you will will be able to see the videos.
-
With your AG ‘Ukulele Academy subscription, you are able to pause your membership for 1 month out of the year. You will still have access to all of the online video content and Session replays during your “paused” month when you aren’t paying.
If you need to miss more than 1 month, we recommend that you cancel your subscription and re-start it whenever you are able to return.
Please Contact Us anytime if you need help pausing or canceling your Academy membership subscription.
