Even though I've only been here about 2 weeks, I know I am home. Taking graded course for baritone ukulele

Excellent lessons, original ukulele skills, clear explanations I learned how to play ukulele with Marco ´s lessons in Patreon and YouTube and I always enjoy his new videos. Thank you, really appreciate.

I found Marco through YouTube a few months ago and have been a subscriber since. I’m slowly picking up the Ukulele and after some reflection of what’s working for me and what isn’t, I realised that Marco’s videos have helped me progress beyond any other resource available online. So, today I became a Patreon subscriber 😊

I came to Marco through youtube, looking for tutorials to help me increase my fluency playing the ukulele, and I have stayed because the sensitivity of his musical proposals is exactly mine. I also appreciate his advice on the instrument. A superb musician who is helping me a lot in my progression. Thank you.

Marco Cirillo is a great teacher. He is fun to listen to and I love the songs he has composed. And I love that he focus mostly on high g tuning.

Hi Marco
Loving your videos on you tube. I'm looking for a bit more structure to my guitar playing and practice. Do you any courses?
Thanks

At 47 years old I finally picked up an instrument. I have spent the last year and a half learning from Marco and what a satisfying experience it has been. Marco’s musical talent is magnified by his teaching abilities. Thank you, Marco, from the bottom of my heart.

I just love Mario’s lessons. They melodies are very different from a lot of the too happy uke melodies and I very much appreciate that.

Also, Mario quickly responds to questions. I highly recommand his lessons on Patreon 😊.

Marco composes strikingly beautiful original pieces that are very approachable for me and provides patient, smooth, clear instruction!

Absolutely love the lessons Marco gives. They are clear, easy to digest, motivating and beautiful. I’m 74, in 2017 I decided to try playing the ukulele. I have NO music background but wanted to learn something to keep my brain active. Wandered around the internet for a very long time trying to figure things out; getting nowhere. Then during the “lockdown” I came across Marco. Finally, someone that could help me make some headway! I enjoy and appreciate the time and talent he shares with us. Thank you, Marco!

I bought a ukelele in Jan 2022. I was a total beginner. His songs are short enough so they feel manageable and long enough that I’m challenged and feel a genuine sense of accomplishment and progress. I have a folder of his work that I practice regularly.

The videos are good quality too. I especially like that he plays the song in full at the beginning. Other teachers play them at the middle or end so I end up scrolling through the video to see if it’s something I want to play. I think Marco has taken the viewers into account here and it’s appreciated.

I pay for the five euro tier on Patreon. It’s very very reasonable for what you get.

10/10 - highly recommend.

I can honestly say that when I found Marco Cirillo's ukulele tutorials (several years ago), my playing grew wings. I soon found him on Patreon, which has become essential for my improvement.

His teaching style is superb, brilliant and very inspiring. I deeply appreciate his ability to impart information without complicated explanation and unnecessary words. He keeps it simple and clear. I also LOVE that he writes his own music to teach everyone. Marco is simply a treasure! I'm deeply grateful to have him as my main teacher.

Thank you, Marco!

Marco’s videos are beautiful and the pieces are just the right length and so pretty, fun, and satisfying to learn.

Marco ! Hi , I’m pretty sure I was an early Patreon of yours. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every posting you have made. My appreciation of how music is formed, together with emotion felt in your music, has been fundamental to the improvement in my playing.
I very much enjoy your style of tutorial. long May it continue.

Best wishes.

I entered lockdown with a soprano uke and came out a professional musician. I stumbled my way through books and YouTube tutorials but when I finally found Marco's YouTube videos, I finally found a teacher who taught simply, quickly and most importantly beautifully.

Loved his teaching style enough to find and support him on Patreon.

Thank you, Marco. Your instruction has kept me coming back over and over to see what I can learn how to do next. You make it easy and fun to learn. Keep going.

Because of the type music Marco teaches I was attracted straight away to learn even though it was way above my current skill level at the time. Marco’s videography is perfect and the sound is delicious! I wanted to sound like him or close. I am a slow learner nonetheless it’s been over a year and I can now fingerpick a few tunes. My favourite being Country Fair, but I also love the Spanish type melodies as well, and love practicing a new piece. I love the variety and I am learning real music! The music sheets have been easy to read and better than some other teachers. I am very happy with all the content Marco presents. This is a good place to learn something new and get away from the run of the mill type ukelele music and expand your skills. I highly recommend Marco.

His teaching style is gorgeous! Sitting like the the teacher right in front of me, he explains musical theory and technique in a very understandable and sympathetic way.

I bought my first ukulele just over a year and a half ago. I’ve never played an instrument before. After a few weeks of searching around YouTube I found Marco. Marco’s lessons are like no other. I never realized the ukulele could sound so beautiful. His lessons are comprehensive and start out with easy exercises that increase in complexity, building up your skills quickly. The video quality is excellent with different angles that allows you to follow along easily. What’s most enjoyable is taking the skills you learn & applying them to the tutorials where Marco guides you through the steps to play one of his compositions. It is so rewarding to be able to play these lovely pieces of which there is a huge variety. You never get bored with Marco’s lessons. He’s passionate about music & communicates that in a way that keeps you motivated.

I love the format of your lessons and the style of music is superb.
I always feel motivated to try what you are teaching and this has improved my playing from a complete beginner to now playing to grade 2 standard in about 6 months.
The content of the lessons are very informative and being able to see where you place left hand fingers is so helpful.
I was a patron in the first instance to Marco's guitar channel but now a patron to Marco's ukulele channel of which I will be for years to come, or untill I can give Marco a lesson.

Thank you Marco

I am so happy that I found Marco! I take uke lessons and workshops from others but nobody teaches like Marco. I find his materials diverse, delightful, motivating and challenging. His original music inspires soloing fills and experimenting. I'm not sure he intended that result, but what a nice bonus. I have more superlatives, but you get the idea.
