Dr. Uke

I am a Glastonbury dermatologist and musician who, for the last several years, has become quite passionate about playing, and teaching others to play, the ukulele. It is the easiest instrument to learn to accompany singing. It is also quite small and therefore “kid friendly.”

I teach ukulele to sixth grade students at the Gideon Welles School in Glastonbury. I have also led teacher workshops in Connecticut and Massachusetts, presented a ukulele workshop at the 2003 CMEA conference in Hartford, and given two eight-week adult ed courses per year in Glastonbury. For ten years, my two daughters and I performed as the musical group Pride and Joy and Dad. My accompaniment for the group was, almost exclusively, the (electric) ukulele. I lead the Glastonbury Ukulele Band, the Glastonbury Ukulele Club, and Glastonbury's BIG SING, a monthly, community-wide singalong. (read less)
