General Info

The New York Ukulele School was started in 2007 by Mark Michaels, a musician and music educator with over 25 years of experience. Equally adept on ukulele, guitar and bass in pop, rock, blues, folk, jazz, and country, Mark has been involved in music education since the 70's, and was instrumental in developing online instruction for guitar and piano in the '90s. Mark has been featured in Newsday, Billboard, The Hartford Courant and Variety, leading the life of a journeyman musician, from accompanying blues great Freddie King at 20 years of age to playing with Madonna in the early days of her career to playing folk great Phil Ochs' guitarist in the film "Chords of Fame." He also produced and composed the #12 hit dance single in 1979, “Umbrella Man," which Billboard magazine called “sharp…concise…a mastermind.” The New York Ukulele School offers instruction in all styles of ukulele. Study on your own instrument or take a lesson on one of our soprano or tenor ukes if it's inconvenient for you to bring yours to the lesson. Learn to play the songs you've been singing and listening to OTHERS sing, reduce your stress level and become an overall happier, cooler person. We GUARANTEE that you'll be playing better after just one lesson; just read our students' endorsements page to see how they rave about our instruction.
