"There are four reasons why you should have lessons with Nora. Firstly, she is an accomplished player and seasoned teacher who can teach any age from young kids (like my eight year old son) to adults like myself and at any level from total novice to advanced. Secondly not only can she teach a huge variety of techniques from more basic chord shapes and strumming to more advanced finger style and George Formby style split strokes and syncopated strums but she also has a thorough knowledge of music theory so you can start to understand how music really works. Thirdly - her classes are sociable, relaxed and just great fun. And lastly, she is just a really decent and sound person who anyone would get on with, you will have a ball, just so just do it!"

"Nora is a great Ukulele teacher. Her classes are a lot of fun, and are easygoing and go at a very accessible pace. The classes cover a real range of songs from new to old, and suggestions are welcome. I joined as a total beginner a couple of years back, and still playing away, and learning new things. The uke is a really fun instrument!"

"I began taking ukulele lessons with Nora two years ago and as a teacher, I have found her to be patient, friendly and very knowledgeable . She knows how to make learning music such good fun.
When I started I hadn’t a clue but now I can play all my favourite songs, melodies, different strumming technique’s and how to play by ear.
I really enjoy the classes and Nora encourages me to push my abilities.
I am glad I found such a good teacher, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn the Ukulele."

"I started as a complete beginner in Nora's ukulele classes a few years ago. I really enjoy the wide repertoire of songs that Nora brings to the classes, along with her enthusiastic energy, her patience and her commitment. I've learnt a lot of general knowledge about music as well as learning how to play the ukulele."

"I took up the ukulele just before lockdown and was lucky enough to continue on Zoom and its' been such a wonderful journey. I never thought I would be able to pick a new instrument up at this stage of my life.
Nora is so knowledgeable and passionate about the Ukulele and makes the classes fun. From tuning to strumming to fingerpicking, she caters for all styles and musical tastes.
Through the ukulele, I found my musical soul again and made some new friends, I have learned to play some of my favourite songs. Nora has a wonderful gift for teaching and is so patient, encouraging and generous with musical knowledge.
I would highly recommend Nora's classes if you want to get a real grasp on this incredible instrument, she covers all the areas from basics to music theory."

“ I always wanted to try and learn to play the Ukulele but it was only when I saw Nora’s classes advertised that I bit the bullet and joined up. Nora’s classes are for all levels…from complete beginners like me to advanced. Her classes are relaxed, easy to follow and great fun and Nora has a great teaching style which makes it very easy to learn tunes and songs. I can really recommend joining her classes if you want to learn the Uke”.
