About Petra
Hi! I’m Petra, a professional singer-songwriter and performing musician based in New York City. I’ve spent 15+ years playing ukulele on stage with jazz, swing, blues, pop, and Americana bands — blending vintage charm with modern grooves. I know what it’s like to start from scratch, and I love helping students discover the joy of making music with this small but mighty instrument.

What I don’t teach:
I focus on the essentials and the fun of playing — I’m not the right teacher if you’re looking for advanced theory, shredding riffs, or classical techniques. But if you want to strum along confidently, sing with your uke, and build a strong foundation, I’ve got you covered!
My Style:
Lessons are warm, encouraging, and flexible. I believe music should feel fun, not stressful. We’ll work with songs you love (from pop to swing to classics) so you stay motivated. Each session is tailored to your pace, and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and excited to pick up your ukulele between lessons.
Lesson Details:
Format: In-person, Online via Zoom or preferred platform
Ages: 8 and up, no prior experience required
First lesson: We’ll go over your goals, play a simple tune, and set a clear path for your progress person
Why Learn With Me?
I’m not just teaching ukulele — I perform it live on stage, so I know how to bring music to life. My teaching focuses on building confidence, rhythm, and expression, rather than just memorizing chords. Whether you’ve never touched an instrument before, or you’ve been playing a little and want to get better, I’ll help you feel like a real musician.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Petra is an excellent teacher. Patient and informative. Highly recommend!
Petra is a musician whose long career comes straight from her heart. She wouldn’t be Petra if she wasn’t constantly learning something new and practicing because there’s no better way for her to spend her time. If you or your child study with Petra, you’ll be learning not only from her years of experience (both playing and working the business) but from her endless joy and passion.
I’ve played with and learned from Petra. She’s an excellent teacher, very patient and she keeps the lessons fun. 10/10 would recommend
Expertise aside, a great teacher possesses two virtues in droves: Patience, and understanding. Fortunately, Petra is one of the most understanding, patient people I’ve had the pleasure of working with- and not only that, she has an uncanny ability to make learning and playing music fun.
I cannot recommend anyone more strongly than I can Petra.Petra is an accomplished musician, songwriter and performer. I played and performed in a band with her for 12 years. She taught me how to play the ukulele a couple years ago and I just can’t put it down! Petra is an inspiring and kind teacher. She is patient and encouraging. She is also very cool. Highly recommend!!
