“Craig & Sarah are unfailingly upbeat, positive, and are a delight. I’ve learned so much from their workshops and use their techniques in my daily practice.”
Craig and Sarah are world traveling performing artists, teachers, and event organizers. They have spent the past 15 years headlining Ukulele Festivals and events world wide, including Australia, The United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, China, and more! Utilizing their experiences abroad and across the United States, they have hosted multiple Ukulele Cruises and Ukulele Retreats. Their commitment to the Global Ukulele Community is unparalleled, with the creation of the first free Online Ukulele Festivals (“Not so Mini Fests”) and free Livestream workshops.
Their Online Ukulele School with Artistworks is one of their many joys, allowing them the opportunity to help students one on one with their Video Exchange program. Each year they continue to add content and musical challenges for their students in a continuation of their musical journey.
Their newest venture has lead them to founding the nonprofit Four Strings at a Time; Engaging, educating, and enriching all ages around the world through music and the ‘ukulele.
“The Ukulele is for ALL ages, and music education is even more important than ever for our kids. We look forward to sharing more about our after school ukulele program, giving them some of the tools they need to express themselves in a new way”.

ArtistWorks Check-In
We’ve been doing monthly check-ins with our ArtistWorks students for a while, via Zoom, but have decided to open it up to Youtube. Our students submit questions via the AW Forum, and we answer them during this meeting. If we have time, we will open up questions for the general public. This is a great way for us to connect with students and you get to hear some of their awesome and useful questions.
‘Ukulele Spotlight Series
We’ve been working on a new series to that allows us to share about different people in our ‘ukulele community. Our most recent episode just came out, and we are excited to share it with you! Check out the playlist for all episode by clicking Learn More!
