Ukulele classes should be held if at all possible in a classroom setting. The classroom should be brightly lit and should contain a blackboard and piano. The blackboard is essential for diagramming chords and for explaining any of the musical theory that you will be called upon to explain of that you will be teaching. The piano, while not totally necessary for the ukulele class, is of great assistance in teaching the ukulele since it enhances and compliments it. When the classes begin the classroom should be set up with the appropriate chairs and music stands. The chairs should be set up in pairs so that each two persons who are playing the ukulele will share one music stand. The chairs should be set up in rows so as to create aisles between them.

We use four rows of chairs with four sets of two chairs in each row. Each set of two chairs shares a music stand. With this format the teacher can easily move through the room while teaching.

Of course, other seating configurations may have to be considered depending on the age/level of the students, the nature and/or purpose of the group, the time frame, the activities within the lesson, and the availability/desirability of chairs and music stands in a given environment.
