I choose to play and teach ukulele to stay positive, reduce anxiety and connect with others around the world. I'm also a HUGE believer in the benefits of creativity, and think that everyone deserves creative time in their lives!
*Wine is ALWAYS optional!
Please drink responsibly.

Ukulele Wine Club is a resource to support your ukulele journey. It includes a monthly virtual meetup where ukulele beginners get together to learn a song, take a mini class with Kathryn and drink wine! It's very chill, low-pressure and a lot of fun. You also gain access to my PDF chord & lyric chart library, bonus videos not available anywhere else, and best of all, a supportive community of like-minded beginner ukulele players.
We meetup twice a month. Join when you can, show up as you are! We occasionally meet during the day instead of the evening so our European members can join live. Typically we meet on Thursdays at 1pm EST.
The first meetup is 60-min (to learn the song or major concept) and the second one is 30-min (for the full song run through, or final practice session - so you have a week to practice in between!
For just $10 a month on Patreon, you can join the Ukulele Wine Club and gain access to an incredible array of resources. This affordable price point makes high-quality ukulele education accessible to all. (By comparison, a 45-minute private lesson with me is $60!) Your support directly contributes to the admin time needed to meticulously prep for classes, design chord/lyric charts, and produce engaging video tutorials.
We meetup on Zoom. The link and details are posted on Patreon each month. No need to RSVP each time, just show up when you can. I post the replays afterwards in case you can't join live!
Nope! You can participate as much as you want to. Remember: low pressure! If you just want to have it on in the background while you’re making dinner w/ your video off, that’s totally cool. Or if you want to turn on your video and strum & sip along with the group, that’s cool too! You will be muted as well, so no one will be able to hear you play, unless you need to unmute to ask Kathryn a question or chat during our wine breaks. :)
Yes, the sessions are recorded and the replays will be posted on Patreon, usually within 24 hours.
You are welcome to review the song and chords ahead of time but you don’t have to! Show up as you are. Starting in 2025 I've been posting chord overview videos ahead of time to give you more time to get acquainted with any new chords. Then during the workshop I give plenty of options for beginners, to meet you where you are or level up if you’re ready! I send out the PDF chord & lyric chart ahead of time but there's absolutely no pressure to practice beforehand.
We always do a full LIVE play through of the song so you can get the experience of playing along with another musician. As of June 2025 the full song play along happens in the second monthly meetup in order to give folks more time to practice!
Not at all! Think of the "wine" as simply part of our relaxed, fun vibe. You can enjoy the Ukulele Wine Club with any beverage you like – or none at all! It's all about the music and community. (I am often sipping tea during our meetups!)
You're still very welcome here! While having an instrument is ideal for playing along, you can definitely begin by familiarizing yourself with the basics and musical concepts. You might find yourself inspired to pick up your first ukulele sooner than you think!
Yes! The more the merrier. :)
YEP! It totally is.
My name is Kathryn and I have my Masters degree in music. I've been teaching music (piano, voice, ukulele & songwriting) to adults and kids for over 13 years. My passion lies in helping people play more music with others and unlocking your creativity!
I will always provide a chord overview before each song meetup for those that need a slower walk through and explanation. You may also want to explore my beginner ukulele course: Ukulele Basics for Beginners!
