Tony Anthonisen

Tony teaches ukulele classes and uke workshops, as well as leading dozens of ukulele jams. This includes Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association classes, workshops and jams, Steve Kaufman Acoustic Kamp workshops and jams, Port Townsend Ukulele Festival jams, and numerous local and regional "music happenings." Tony founded the Twin Cities Ukulele Club, and he organizes and leads TC Uke Club events, including both the Great Minnesota Uke Gathering and WOW! - the Winter Oo-koo-lay-lay Weekend.

Tony’s classes and teaching style emphasize providing an environment for ukulele learners that is caring, encouraging, and 100% non-threatening. He firmly believes that “if learning and playing ukulele isn’t fun, why do it?”
