Ukulele with Gabrielle Johnson
Make your ukulele sound more playful.

About Gabrielle
Hi, I’m Gabrielle Johnson — a singer and ukulele teacher based in Sydney.
I began teaching guitar while I was in high school and realised early on that helping others make music was what I loved most. Since then, I’ve been playing, singing, performing and teaching for decades — running my own music school, leading choirs and groups, and singing at countless weddings and events.
In 2025, I spent seven months travelling around Australia, hosting ukulele workshops and working with ukulele groups along the way. It gave me a clear insight into what adult players — especially those 50+ — are really looking for, and what often isn’t working for them.
If you’re ready to move beyond three-chord songs and the island strum, you’re in the right place. It doesn’t require heavy theory — just a few thoughtful changes that can completely transform your sound.

My Approach
I help you:
- move beyond the same strum on every song
- make picking and strumming feel more musical
- hear what to lean into — and what to leave out
- find the joy in playing again
“Gabrielle’s talent and love of singing and performing on any of her instruments is obvious. My abilities have certainly been tested and have improved. I have learnt so much from her coaching.”
