Hi, teruterubouzu! Oh my goodness, I am so jealous you live in Minneapolis! My ukulele teacher is Danielle Anderson of Danielle Ate The Sandwich and she lives in Minneapolis. I live near Seattle, but take Skype lessons with Danielle and she is a WONDERFUL teacher (I used to be a teacher, so I am pretty picky!)! My Skype lessons with her are only $25 per hour (the very first one was $50 for the hour, but all lessons after the initial one are only $25 for an hour). I know she also teaches in person in Minneapolis. I feel that since I have started working with Danielle, my uke playing is really growing, and it's an amazing feeling to be able to play tunes that I love! I also enjoy working with Danielle so much because she really cares about you learning; she is also excellent at follow-up after lessons -- always wanting to answer whatever questions you have.
