Weekly Update
I've been so busy this week with loads of homework, a practice examination, getting my braces, and getting makeup work done. I was so busy to the point I had to reschedule my ukulele lessons twice and only had the time to practice for 30 minutes. Hopefully, next week will be calmer, so I can really get the songs finished and start new ones.
I will have my videos of myself playing the ukulele as soon as I can.
Some of the songs I want to start with my tutor is Over the Rainbow by Israel "Bruddah Iz" Kamakawiwoʻole; Hey, Soul Sister by Train; Hey Jude by the Beatles; City of Stars by La La Land Cast; Yesterday by the Beatles.
I also want to try more difficult songs like Payphone by Maroon 5 or Ride by Twenty One Pilots.

Progressing...
During spring break, I went to my ukulele tutor and learned a few songs. One of them is called Lava by the Pixar Short Movie. This Wednesday, I learning to play Pompeii by Bastille. The chords are getting harder and harder by each song I play, but it just takes a lot of practice for me to get use to it. Every week, I've been practicing for about 20-30 minutes, and it is exhilarating to play your own choice of music that you'd never even thought of achieving before. Even though, each songs are a few minutes long, they use very minimum chords. The singer just sings many different melodies that makes the song more complex and interesting There are about 3-4 chords for the songs I play, except for some that has the chorus and the intro. This weekend, I want to make videos of myself to show you my skills and songs that I've learned so far.

3/10/17
This week, the ukulele lesson was Thursday, because I had to go to MPA. I picked out my song that we'll be practicing on, Shape of You, by Ed Sheeran. The tutor would hear the song and pick out which chords would be the best, so there were no music sheets or other composers who would arrange the chords for ukulele. The chords are getting harder than I thought it'd be, and time was getting shorter for this instrument due to midterms. However, during the spring break, I'll definitely have time to practice.

Week 3
This week, I couldn't go to my ukulele lessons on Tuesday because, I decided to work with my friend on Wednesday starting next week. This Wednesday, the tutor could not come due to time difficulty.
This blog making process has been going very well with no difficulty or complexity at all. Because I've worked with other programs close to the Blogger, it's very smooth and easy to work with.
Some of my favorite sites that I use is https://ukutabs.com/
Some of the songs that I've been working on is "Can't Stop Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley and "Riptide" by Vance Joy. I'm searching for more songs that I could play with the tutor that contains some level of difficulty.
