About ukulele lessons at Opus 1

Ukulele is the friendliest instrument to start on — soft nylon strings, a small body that fits young hands, and a first song within the first few lessons. At Opus 1, ukulele lessons build real musicianship from day one: chords, rhythm, reading, and singing while you play, taught by teachers who keep beginners motivated and make practice fun.

Available for ages 5 and up. Styles include hawaiian, pop, folk, rock, and singer-songwriter.

What you’ll learn

Mountain View ukulele FAQs

What Mountain View families ask before starting ukulele lessons.

What age can my child start ukulele lessons in Mountain View?

Opus 1 starts private ukulele lessons at age 5 at our Mountain View Grant Campus. Children under that age are welcome to join Music for Young Children, our group program starting at age 3, which builds the rhythm, pitch, and ear-training foundation that makes private ukulele lessons successful when the student is ready. A short trial lesson is the easiest way to confirm a child is developmentally prepared.

Do you offer ukulele lessons for adults in Mountain View?

Yes — Opus 1 teaches ukulele to adults of every level at our Mountain View Grant Campus, from complete beginners to returning players picking the ukulele back up. Adult students set their own goals, choose the styles they care about, and schedule weekly private lessons around work. An adult trial lesson runs 45 minutes for $35 or 60 minutes for $45, so you can meet a teacher before committing — and there's no annual contract.

How much do ukulele lessons cost in Mountain View?

Trial ukulele lessons at Opus 1 start at $25 for 30 minutes (reserved for children under 8), $35 for 45 minutes, or $45 for 60 minutes. Monthly membership for one weekly private lesson ranges from $265 to $595 depending on lesson length and teacher level (Standard, Senior, or Master). Tuition is the same flat amount each month, including months with five lessons.

Do you offer ABRSM, Certificate of Merit, or exam preparation for ukulele?

Ukulele is a wonderful first instrument and a natural stepping stone to guitar. Formal graded exams are less common for ukulele, but Opus 1 students build genuine musicianship — chords, rhythm, reading, and singing — and perform in our recitals three times a year. Many students go on to guitar lessons with a strong foundation already in place.

Do I need to own a ukulele before starting lessons?

Yes — a soprano or concert ukulele is needed within the first month of enrollment, and it's one of the most affordable instruments to buy. A quality beginner ukulele is inexpensive, and your teacher can recommend a specific size and model after the trial lesson based on the student's age and hand size.

Where is your Mountain View ukulele lesson studio located?

Our Mountain View Grant Campus is at 1350 Grant Road #5, Mountain View, CA 94040. The campus is convenient for families in Mountain View, Los Altos, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino. Parking is available on-site, and parents can wait inside with free Wi-Fi or step out for coffee during the lesson.
