The ukulele is one of the friendlier instruments to start on, and Singapore has a fair spread of places that teach it: a dedicated ukulele shop, pop-music studios, neighbourhood schools and the big national chains. This guide gathers nine operators whose own websites list ukulele lessons, and describes each one using only what it publishes. Ages, class formats and syllabus details vary a lot between them, so read the write-ups with your own goal in mind, whether that is strumming along at parties, an exam pathway for a child, or a relaxed weekly hobby. Always confirm current availability, teachers and fees directly with the school before booking.

1. Ukulele Movement

Ukulele Movement describes itself as a ukulele specialty store, and its website pairs a shop with a classes section, which makes it the most instrument-focused operator on this list. The classes page lists one-to-one in-person lessons, small-group lessons for two or three people, multi-week module courses numbered from one upwards, a short appreciation course, and live online lessons, including an online course aimed at kids. It also says it runs workshops and corporate team-building sessions, and that private courses are arranged by contacting the team directly. The store sits near Little India, and its site states opening hours and a phone and WhatsApp number for enquiries. A sensible fit if you also want advice on buying your first ukulele.

2. Replugged Music

Replugged Music is a Bugis school whose site gives ukulele its own course page, titled pop ukulele lessons. The page sets out two stages, a beginner stage for people with no musical experience and an intermediate stage that expects the first to be completed. Each stage is described as eight one-hour sessions, with group sizes of three to five participants, and the topics listed include tuning, chords, strumming and plucking patterns, single-line melodies and reading tablature. Individual and duo formats are also shown on the page. The school says it was the first pop music school in Singapore to offer ukulele classes, which is its own claim. Enquiries go through a course enquiry form or a published email.

3. TMW (The Music Works)

TMW runs a music school alongside its instrument stores, and its ukulele page describes private one-to-one and group classes for both children and adults, with a trial class option. The beginner course outline on the page covers the parts of the ukulele, posture, chords and progressions, strumming patterns, left and right hand technique, fingerpicking, melody arrangements and some contemporary music theory. The school teaching centre is at Chai Chee, where its site says appointments are required, and the same site lists a second showroom location at Joo Seng. Because the music school sits next to a retail operation, it can suit families who would like help choosing an instrument before the first lesson.

4. Silversnow Music School

Silversnow Music School lists ukulele on its homepage next to piano, violin, guitar, flute and singing, and its website title names Katong and Marine Parade, Bukit Timah and Aljunied as its neighbourhoods. The school says it has more than twenty teachers, offers lessons seven days a week at the hours it publishes, and keeps students on a month-to-month basis without term minimums. It also describes annual recitals and a play-based programme for young children called Music Explorer. Its site mentions help with graded exams through ABRSM, Trinity and LCM, but it does not say which instruments that applies to, so ask whether it covers ukulele. A booking or enquiry can be sent through its contact form.

5. Believer Music

Believer Music is an adult-friendly music school that lists ukulele as its own course family, and its site names several programmes: a secular ukulele programme, a secular silver programme for older learners, and a separate Believer ukulele programme. The secular programme page shows a ladder of levels from one to six, plus modules for wellness and for community and social-service facilitation. The school says its branches are at Commonwealth, Novena and Tampines, that lessons suit children and adults, and that registration is online. Its course listings show a term running from late October to mid December 2026. Check which branch and level you would be placed at before signing up, and confirm the level and term dates with the school.

6. Ossia Music School

Ossia Music School gives ukulele a dedicated page that says lessons start from age five, run as thirty-minute individual sessions, and are meant to be beginner friendly, with the school suggesting you could be strumming a song within a few lessons. Its outline of a typical syllabus runs from tuning and basic chords through strumming techniques, simple songs, bar chords, fingerpicking and tablature, and ends with songwriting and performance preparation. The school offers a free trial booking through its site, and its contact page lists locations at Junction 10 in Woodlands, Woodlands Civic Centre, Bukit Batok West and Tampines. It does not say which branches teach ukulele, so confirm before you go.

7. Cristofori Music School

Cristofori is a large piano and music retailer that also runs music schools, and its ukulele page says lessons are available at all of its music school locations. The fee table on that page is organised by grade, running from a beginner level up to grade five, with thirty-minute and forty-five-minute lesson lengths and separate peak and non-peak rates, so it is worth reading before you commit. An article on its site discusses Rockschool ukulele exams as a pathway for students who want a graded qualification. The school presents its courses as suitable for children and adults alike. Contact details for its showrooms and schools are listed on its website, so you can compare nearby branches.

8. Swee Lee Music Academy

Swee Lee Music Academy is the teaching arm of the long-established Swee Lee music retailer, and its ukulele page describes lessons as suitable for kids and just as enjoyable for adults. According to that page, the content covers basic and advanced playing techniques, rhythmic sense and strumming patterns, music scores and notation, and theory foundations. The academy's FAQ says lessons are mostly individual, fixed to the same day and time each week on a first-come basis, and that its studios supply instruments so beginners need not bring their own. Trial lessons are requested through an online form where you say what you want to play, after which the academy says it will be in touch.

9. Yamaha Music School

Yamaha Music School's ukulele course page is aimed mainly at adults and youths, with a starting age of eight and above, and says beginners with no musical background are welcome while those who already know a chord or two can join a more advanced level. Its published course content includes basic chords, strumming patterns, playing styles, music theory and an introduction to genres common on the ukulele. The page describes small group classes alongside individual lessons, with a pair option, and shows two levels with thirty-minute lessons. A free trial button and a school locator are provided on the site, so you can check which Yamaha centre near you offers the course.

How to choose

  • Decide whether you want a ukulele specialist or a general music school. A shop-led operator can pair lessons with instrument advice, while larger schools offer structured levels, multiple branches and sometimes exam routes. Neither is automatically better; the right choice depends on whether you value flexibility, a syllabus or convenience of location.
  • Match the class format to how you like to learn. The operators here describe one-to-one lessons, pairs, small groups and online sessions, and each suits different people. Groups can be social and cheaper per person, while individual lessons let a teacher adjust pace, repertoire and technique around your own goals.
  • Check age limits before booking. Several schools publish a minimum starting age, and some programmes are written for adults or older learners rather than young children. If you are enrolling a child, ask whether the ukulele course you are looking at runs for their age band or is offered only at certain branches.
  • Ask whether exams matter to you. Some schools mention graded syllabi such as Rockschool, while others focus on playing songs for fun. If you want a certificate, confirm that the school actually enters ukulele students for the exam, who prepares them, and how that fits with the term dates and lesson length.
  • Book a trial where one is offered and ask practical questions: which branch teaches ukulele, whether you need your own instrument, how make-up lessons work and what the terms say about commitment. Fees and schedules change, so rely on what the school confirms in writing rather than on any directory or older listing.
