Ukulele Rhythm Mastery — for All Levels
From ceremonial genres to Latin, African, and funky grooves — let your ukulele do the talking as you master 99+ dynamic strumming patterns across 9 styles like they were made for you.
My ukulele journey began spontaneously by a Bali waterfall, where a friend’s playing lit a spark in me. I got one of my own and started exploring—not with a goal, but with pure joy. Every song became a new adventure in sound and expression, through rhythmic strumming or delicate picking.
Over time, I started mapping out the unique patterns I was discovering. These little embellishments began to color my Brazilian concerts, and soon people were asking me to teach them. Creating these online trainings became a natural way to share that joy and wisdom with more people around the world.
This course isn’t just a collection of techniques — it’s a piece of my heart. A distillation of years of playful exploration, designed to help you unlock the rhythmic magic of your 4-string friend — and of yourself.
It’s amazing how the right strumming pattern can completely transform a song — turning something ordinary into something so vibrant and unforgettable, you can’t help but fall in love with it.
The ukulele is a beautifully expressive instrument that’s also beginner-friendly. It’s a lighter, easier alternative to the guitar — smaller in size, simpler to learn, and gentler on your fingers.
This training will surprise you. With a clear, step-by-step method, you'll go from basic to intricate patterns with ease — and discover how your music can speak volumes and uplift any space with its irresistible groove.
