Every musician walks a journey. This is where yours begins.
Learn guitar and ukulele in an oceanside setting,
guided by patience, clarity, and island rhythm.
Ukulele by the Beach
What if learning the ukulele became one of your favorite Maui memories?
You came to Maui to slow down, breathe deeper, and experience something meaningful. A beachside ukulele lesson is a chance to connect with music, the ocean, and the moment you are in.
Lessons can also be arranged at your condo or vacation rental for a more private, relaxed experience.
What the experience includes
- Private beachside lessons in a peaceful outdoor setting
- Ukuleles provided so you can simply show up and enjoy
- No experience needed at all
- Guided by a local instructor with years of teaching experience
Most guests leave with a song in their hands
And a memory they did not expect to take home. Perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, and anyone looking to do something different while visiting the island.
Consistent guidance for long-term musical growth
Weekly lessons are designed for students who want to build real skills over time. With clear structure, thoughtful pacing, and ongoing support, music becomes part of your routine rather than something you rush through.
Private lessons are offered in the Kihei and Wailea areas, including beach parks, private residences, and Aaron’s home studio.
What ongoing lessons include
- Personalized lesson plans based on your goals and experience
- Clear structure and progression from week to week
- Technique, rhythm, and musical understanding
- Acoustic and electric guitar instruction
- Ukulele for all levels
- Patient, supportive instruction at your own pace
Progress happens quietly, week by week
Over time, students build confidence, consistency, and a deeper connection to their instrument - not just learning songs, but developing real understanding.

About Aaron
Calm, patient instruction shaped by a lifetime of curiosity, live performance, and a deep respect for the learning process.
Early Years
Aaron began his journey in music education over two decades ago. While studying at Illinois State University, he explored guitar, piano, and music theory, discovering a love for collaboration and live performance.
Exploration & Growth
His passion for learning led him across the country, from Asheville, North Carolina, where he studied bluegrass styles on mandolin and banjo, to California, where he expanded into sound design, electronic music, and Afro-Latin percussion.
Focus & Teaching
Years later in Colorado, working within a nonprofit music community, Aaron discovered the ukulele as his primary instrument. Its accessibility and expressive range became central to his teaching philosophy.
Maui
In 2023, Aaron moved to Maui to deepen his study of traditional Hawaiian styles and to teach in a setting that encourages presence, patience, and joy. His goal is simple: help students of any age feel comfortable, confident, and connected through music.
