“Dani and Perry are amazing teachers. They really understand the principles of adult learning. They are both multi instrumentalists who are teaching innovative courses that will delight and stretch you. They have a great group of students, some of whom have been with them in person for a while and others like me who have joined their ranks on line. There is lots of education available out there, but these two are the real deal.” - April Mink - North Carolina USA

“Perry Stauffer’s is an accomplished jazz ukulele musician who can teach you the “secrets” of jazz improvisation. If you are ready to take your ukulele playing to a new level, Perry’s Jazz lessons are a must! I just finished Perry’s online Jazz lessons and I was quite impressed with Perry’s teaching style and the quality of his teaching. He packs a lot of content in each lesson and provides follow-up PDFs of what he teaches. The PDFs are wonderful references and I don’t have to worry about trying to take notes while he’s teaching. I can just concentrate on learning. Perry makes his lessons fun and teaches the advanced jazz concepts in a clear and easy to understand manner. Not only does he teach various jazz licks and riffs, but also the understanding on how and why to construct your own advanced jazz lines.” - Bill Zombeck - New Mexico USA

“I'm enjoying Perry's class and learning a lot. I am a visual person as well and I think the pdf's are wonderful and serve as an excellent reference for my practice. Thank you to Dani and Perry for all of your encouragement, support and knowledge that you share with us. You two do such a wonderful service for the uke community.” - David Thatcher - New Mexico USA
