We had an amazing time with Mike and Sarah. They made us feel so welcome and it was great fun playing with the kids as well. A brilliant way to introduce the ukulele 🤗

Parent & Child Ukulele Program
Summer Family Fun alert!
Strum Squad's Parent & Child Ukulele Program offers a fun introduction to ukulele playing with a focus on age-appropriate pop songs (Justin Timberlake, Imagine Dragons, Queen & more!), ukulele games, and exercises to keep you and your family engaged and motivated. We're all here to have fun and learn how to play some music in the process!
-
We've taught hundreds of students how to play their favourite songs on the ukulele in a fun and supportive group environment. Our students get to play family friendly games together that help us learn the ukulele in a way that is fun and lighthearted.
-
This is a 5 week group lesson program, which runs once per week at a selected Community Centre in town.
-
Our final lesson includes a recorded group ukulele performance video so you and your family can look back years down the line and remember how you all became ukulele rock stars together.
-
Strum Squad has a dedicated practice resource page with strum-along videos for each song learned in class to help your family bring the fun home with you between lessons!
-
This program is not intended for kids under the age of 4.
-
We provide ukulele rentals for those who do not have their own ukulele. The rentals are yours to take home for the duration of the program!
-
If you and your family can't make one of the lessons due to commitments but are otherwise interested in joining us, we have a dedicated practice videos page on our site that covers everything we learn in the program as well as strum-along videos to all the songs we learn (Justin Timberlake, Imagine Dragons, Queen, OneRepublic and more!) so families are able to catch up quickly if they ever miss a lesson from time to time. We also have 15 minutes before each lesson time (we have the room for an hour and the lesson is 45 minutes) where families can come early to get their ukes tuned up and get a quick 1-1 lesson from me if they missed the previous week or just need a refresher.
Meet your instructor
Lead Instructor: Mike Papaloni
Hey! I'm Mike.
I've taught hundreds of students how to play the uke in a fun and supportive group environment over the years. You may have seen me performing as a band or acoustic solo act in your town over the years.
Strum Squad is the program I created to teach my ukulele secrets with a strong focus on FUN.
There will be ukulele games and laughter along the way!
I look forward to strumming with you and your family!
