““Richard is such an amazing teacher! I have learned so much in the relatively short time I have been playing the ukulele. He always encourages each student to be the best musician they can no matter what level they are, from beginners to more advanced students. He even makes the complicated world of music theory fun.”

““Richard Colombo is a talented musician with the ability to share his knowledge in a way that is accessible and enjoyable. In over 4 years of lessons I have learned to play the ukulele using various styles and techniques. Along the way I have also learned bits about music theory, song writing and performing with others. But the classes are much more than that, they also incorporate community, making friends and having fun. They are a happy, inclusive space, where we also learn to play the ukulele. It has been so much fun that I have also started guitar lessons with Rich.”
