About

Noel Tardy is musician/singer/songwriter who has never quite grown-up! She loves her stuffed animals as well as her precious puppy Princess. The stories of KoKo the Travel Bear™ come from real experiences. While music is her passion and the ukulele is her main instrument, she enjoys writing about KoKo. Her time is spent performing at children’s parties and teaching ukulele workshops to kids of all ages.

Among her accomplishments, she has performed at the Women’s Museum in Dallas, with an ensemble for the City of Lewisville, entertained at American Business Women’s Association events, participated in Hurricane Katrina fundraisers, entertained for Dallas realtor and uke enthusiast Ebby Halliday and more. She has become a regular workshop leader at acoustic music festivals all across Texas from Bulverde to Palestine to Glen Rose and Irving!

Areas of Expertise

My passion is music - especially ukulele. I enjoy writing children's books and music, teaching ukulele and performing.

UkeLady Music is about Sharing the Aloha Spirit ... One Strum at a Time!
My goal is to put a ukulele into the hands of every kid of every age! Playing uke is fun, it's easy and it puts a smile on your face!
