The little ‘ukulele is tons of FUN! With its small size, four soft strings (just one per finger!), and a beginner-friendly open tuning – it is a terrific tool for learning the core concepts of music – melody, harmony, and rhythm. In just a lesson or two you will be making real music! And Eric is a patient, caring, empathic teacher who is delighted by the growth and learning of his students.

Eric Jensen holds a Level 2 Teacher Certification from the respected James Hill Ukulele Initiative (JHUI) program. In addition to ukulele, Eric is part of the Seattle-based Honeyville Rascals trio where he sings and plays U-Bass (an ukulele-sized bass). He is a former member of the acclaimed Legacy Ukulele Ensemble, directed by Peter Luongo and the Ukestra Seattle Ensemble, directed by Sunga Rose.
