Lisa Kljaich É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ“ also known as the Ukulele Fool.  I teach  Explorations in Music É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ“ MUS 200x a Quality Matters certified online class that counts towards General Education Requirements.

I have been teaching music to folks that HAD to take a music class since I graduated from college in 1983! I taught elementary school general music in Fairbanks for 21 years. Every kid in the school had to come see me twice a week, whether they wanted to or not. Given those conditions, I have endeavored to make learning about music an engaging and personal experience over the course of my 37 year career. I have learned from some of the best teachers (some because I had to, others because I wanted to) over the years, and I try to inspire like I have been inspired.

I have had an eclectic career as a musician. I have performed on more instruments than I have fingers and I sing in public all the time. The flute is my major instrument, but the ukulele is my favorite instrument.  I currently have a YouTube channel, The Ukulele Fool, where I offer tutorials, interviews, and general information related to the ukulele. I also have charitable projects designed to get ukuleles and instruction to underserved communities. Through my online offerings, I have had students study with me from many different states and all over the globe É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ“ Japan, Kenya, Australia, Czech Republic, Italy, the UK, and more. The best part É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ“ they all want to learn music!
