Meet Dave
Dave Simpson is a professional musician with over twenty years in the music industry and the founder of Honolua Ukuleles — one of Canada’s only dedicated ukulele brands. He started Uke Night Live in Calgary over five years ago and has since taught more than a thousand complete beginners to play real songs, often in under two hours.
The online courses are built on the same method — just with more time, more songs, and lifetime access.
Built on Honolua
Every Uke Night course is built by the same team behind Honolua Ukuleles — instruments designed specifically for the kind of playing taught here. Every Honolua Ukulele also comes with a free starter version of the course included — the instrument and the method, together from day one.
Honolua is a Green Spark partner: five trees planted for every ukulele sold, with nearly 6,000 trees planted to date.
