About Ukulele Corner
Ukulele Corner came from a collaboration between two musicians; Jeff Peterson and Simon Powis. Jeff is a Grammy Award winning musician from Hawaii with a wealth of experience in multiple musical styles. Simon is an international performer and educator of the classical guitar.
With a joint enthusiasm for online education Jeff and Simon built Ukulele Corner following the Cornerstone Method that has worked so successfully for thousands of classical guitarists around the world. Building a curriculum based on structured materials, graded progression, and deliberate practice principles, Ukulele Corner has become a home for world class music education.
