About


Current Location:  New York, NY

 

 

What: The mission is simple. Give ukulele lessons to others in order to spread empowerment through music. ANYONE can play a ukulele, and I'm trying to teach as many people as I can for free! 

Who I am: Shannon Ferguson, a 26 yr. old New York native and ukulele enthusiast (obviously). I grew up with 4 brothers and a bunch of pets. Competition for food was fierce. I still have trouble sharing snacks (I'm working on it though). I have a degree in special education and currently work as an account manager, supporting teachers throughout the country. 

Here are some Shannon facts...

  • I have a motorcycle license
  • There are 2 titanium screws in my right knee (not related to the first fact)
  • I once wrote a song about how much I love peanut butter 

Where: For now, I'm located in NYC. Feel free to contact me directly if you have an opportunity for me to travel somewhere else. 

Why: I've been teaching classes for a few years and have seen my students grow in confidence through the power of creating their own music. I want to share that with as many people as I can. 

How: Now that I'm back in NYC, I'm looking to bring ukulele all over the city! I always have one with me, and most of my teaching is done randomly.

This attempt at picking fruit didn’t go so well. Swipe through to see one of the 7 fire ant bites I got from this tree. Three on my leg, 2 on my arm, one in my armpit, and the last on my boob. Motherf*cker. #hormigasdefuego

Missing @hellocellofellow while he’s traveling for work, so here’s a clip of him being cute and playing cello to make me feel better #tallbuildings #cover #banjo #cello
I’ve been listing to @joy__williams new album nonstop, this song in particular because she does beautiful incredible things with her voice. You should go listen to Front Porch (but please listen to my version first so you don’t realize how much it pales in comparison to the original) . . . #joywilliams #cover #frontporchcover #acousticcover #guitar
