My name is Brad Bordessa. I live in Honokaʻa, Hawaiʻi. I’ve been playing ʻukulele for 20 years and running Live ʻUkulele since 2007!
In this fast paced era of the internet, I want to help make people feel comfortable with learning the ʻukulele at their own pace and find joy in the discipline. You don’t have to practice eight hours a day to have fun! (But you can if you want!)
Hi, everyone!
I don’t know why, but I bought a Ukelele at Remenyi in Toronto on the 22nd of December 2009. I think I bought it for myself for Christmas.
There were Ukelele classes at CAMMAC camp in Quebec ( cammac.ca )
and I had fun with them. I have given up the classical guitar, and am going to have a real go at learning the Uke.
Cheers!

I am in my 70’s and took up the Ukulele over 4 years ago. I did play some classical music on a wide neck classical guitar before that. I gave that up to focus on the Uke and singing. I am commenting on your journey to the Uke as I have had a similar experience. I love the intimate sound of the Uke.
I use Brad’s resources and have supported his work for several years. I am a bit of a self learner and Brad’s online resources work for me.
