Rebecca Bogart

Rebecca Bogart has been introducing beginners of all ages to music for over 40 years. She believes that helping more people play music makes the world a better place. She learned to play ukulele from her sister Jenny using the method taught in the Beginning Ukulele Songs series. While she has spent countless hours playing music with two hands at the piano, learning to have the left hand fret chords while the right hand strummed was a surprisingly challenging experience! Rebecca brings a ukulele beginners perspective to the Ukulele Sisters’ writing team. Rebecca and Jenny have now written four books in the Beginning Ukulele Songs series: Volume 1, 21 Songs in 6 Days Learn Ukulele the Easy Way; Volume 2, 21 Easy Ukulele Songs for Christmas; Volume 3, 21 MORE Songs in 6 Days: Learn Intermediate Ukulele the Easy Way; and Volume 4, Easy Ukulele Songs: Five with Five Chords. Rebecca has been passionate about the piano and music her entire life. She has played for audiences in Italy, taught master classes at Harvard and won more than a few piano competitions. She made her solo debut at Carnegie Hall in early 2014. Several of Rebecca’s piano students have won national and international awards and been featured on NPR’s radio show "From the Top". She has been a featured presenter at the California Music Teacher’s Association, and has recorded a CD of American solo piano music American Retrospective. She completed her Masters degree in Piano at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Contact Rebecca: rebecca@ukulele.io
