Uke Night Method
Play Your Favorite Songs in 3 Days
The complete beginner's ukulele course. Three sessions, about an hour each. No musical experience needed.
You've thought about this before.
Maybe you searched "learn ukulele" on YouTube. There's actually a lot of good content out there — but you lost an hour bouncing between videos, trying to piece together a path that made sense, and still weren't sure where to start. Maybe you downloaded an app that turned playing music into homework. Maybe you looked at group lessons, saw the price and the 8-week commitment, and quietly closed the tab.
Or maybe you just told yourself the same thing most people tell themselves: I'm not musical. I'm too old. I should have started this years ago.
None of that is true. And none of those options failed because you weren't ready — they weren't designed for a complete beginner who just wants to get to the good parts.
This course started with a dental team.
A team-building coordinator asked if Dave could teach a room full of complete beginners to play ukulele in a single session. Nobody had ever touched an instrument. By the end of two hours, they were all playing real songs together.
That first session became Uke Night — and over a thousand complete beginners have come through since. Retirees, working professionals, couples on date nights. The CTO of one of the world's most recognized tech companies booked a session over Zoom for his senior technical team — a group he described as the most non-musical people he'd ever worked with. They were all playing together by the end.
The method works because popular music runs on patterns. A small number of chords, played in the right order, unlocks a surprising number of songs people actually recognize. This course doesn't teach theory. It teaches you those chords and puts real songs in your hands from the first session.
What's Inside the Course
The full course, the 200+ song setlist, and everything you need to go from complete beginner to playing real songs — all for one payment.
Learn Your First Chords
You'll hold a ukulele for the first time, learn the chord shapes that unlock everything that follows, and start making real music before the session ends.
Play Your First Real Song
You'll play a full song from start to finish — a song you've heard your whole life. Not an exercise. Not a drill. A real song, all the way through.
16 Campfire Songs Under Your Belt
The setlist opens up. Sixteen crowd-pleasing songs across decades and genres, each with a Dave play-along video so you're never learning alone.
Course Also Includes
Complete Ukulele Buying Guide
Don't have a ukulele yet? The guide walks you through exactly what to look for and what to avoid. Your purchase also includes an exclusive discount on a Honolua ukulele.
Troubleshooting Hub
Strings sound wrong? Fingers not cooperating? The hub is one click away throughout the entire course. Real answers to the real problems beginners hit.
No Tech Skills Needed
If you can watch a YouTube video, you can use this course. No apps to download, no software to figure out. Just press play.
Bonus: Strumming Patterns
Once you've got the basics, these patterns give your playing personality. Different rhythms, different feels — the same song can sound completely different.
Bonus: Capo Tutorial
A capo lets you play songs in different keys without learning new chords. One small tool, hundreds more songs. The course walks you through exactly how it works.
Bite-Sized Lessons
Every lesson is under 10 minutes. No marathon sessions, no hour-long lectures. Pick it up, learn something, put it down. Come back when you're ready.
A 200+ Song Setlist That Keeps You Playing for Life
The course teaches you to play 16 songs. The setlist gives you over 200 more — crowd-pleasing hits spanning decades and genres, all built around the chords you learn here. Some stick to those chords exactly. Others introduce something new along the way — and the course has already taught you how to handle it. Songs worth playing at a campfire, a family gathering, a backyard party.
But the setlist is a starting point, not a ceiling. The course also teaches you how to find any song that isn't in it and figure out whether you can play it the same day. The chords you learn here work across hundreds of thousands of songs — and you'll have the tools to find them on your own.
Yours forever. No expiration.
Over 1,000 Complete Beginners. A 4.9 Out of 5 Recommendation Rating.
This is what Uke Night students have said about the live event programme the course is built on. The online course takes everything that works in those sessions and adds more — more songs, more resources, more support, and the ability to pause, rewind, and go at your own pace.
I have taken a few ukulele courses and was absolutely blown over by what transpired in one two-hour evening. The group was actually playing several songs at the end of class! The learning surpassed 6 hours in a beginner group class and was much more fun.
A fun evening with music, laughter, and a sense of accomplishment after only two hours of plonking away on an instrument I had not played before. I was surprised that I could mostly follow the songs by the end of the evening.
My husband and I did this for a date night and had an absolute blast. We loved Dave's energy and how engaged everyone was.
81% of live event students say they plan to keep playing after their first session. 95% rate the experience a perfect 5 out of 5.
Meet Dave
Dave has spent 20 years in the music industry — as a performer, a buyer for one of Canada's top guitar retailers, and the founder of Honolua Ukuleles. He learned about instrument design by touring the top musical instrument factories across North America, Japan, and China. He designs every instrument in the Honolua lineup.
None of that is why the course works.
The course works because Dave has spent five years in rooms full of complete beginners, watching what clicks and what doesn't. Over a thousand people have been through his Uke Night events. The method was built in those rooms — tested, adjusted, and refined until it worked for everyone, not just the people with natural ability.
This isn't a YouTube channel or an app built by a software company. It's a course built by someone who teaches real beginners, in person, every month — and took everything that works and put it online.
$67. One Time. Yours for Life.
Private lessons run $40 to $80 an hour in most cities — and after the first month you're still working through exercises. Music apps charge $10 to $20 a month and hope you forget to cancel. An 8-week group class costs more than this course and covers less.
$67 gets you the full course, 16 play-along songs, a 200+ song setlist, a buying guide, a troubleshooting hub, bonus strumming patterns, a capo tutorial, and lifetime access. One payment. No subscription. No expiration.
