Last google day!

Since today was the last google day, we decided to have some fun and looked up random songs to play! This let us practice our chords and singing abilities, while having fun with it. I have really enjoyed this google project, I think the ukulele is a great distraction from everyday stress, similar to clarinet or other musical instruments. Now I can pull out a ukulele and confidently play around with some chords or pluck a little tune, or play a song from memory. I have also learned about the world of stringed instruments through this, I didn't know anything before!
Lots of fun and a wonderful experience!

Just Bored

I got bored today and decided to mess around with the ukulele. I found the chords to one of my favourite songs, "Futile Devices" by Sufjan Stevens, and it made me happy enough to post :) I'm really enjoying the ukulele- much easier than the guitar!

Google Day #4

So far, Julia and I have had a great time learning to play the ukulele. All we need now is to choose the song we want to preform for the class and then learn it. I'm so excited, and I'm so happy to see that we've come this far! Hopefully we can continue learning more and apply what we've learned so far on the ukulele to other instruments. I've had a lot of fun, and I hope to continue learning more!

Google day #4

Allegra and I worked out what our presentation is going to be!
We decided to demonstrate multiple ways to play a scale, so we practiced the fingerings of our basic scales for a while. Also, we practiced "Clementine" to play so that we can show how to pluck a whole song. The search for a song to strum to and sing is still going on!
I have memorized about three scales and Clementine is basically all from memory! My fingers are getting used to sight reading pieces now.
