3 Weeks Left...

Last Thursday, I learned how to play the chords of Hey Jude by the Beatles. This week's lesson is arranged to this upcoming weekend, due to the two hour band rehearsal yesterday. Next, I'm willing to learn the chords for Hey, Soul Sister. I believe the song composes majority of the melodies, instead of chords, that could be played by ukuleles.

My top successes were playing the song, Shape of You, by Ed Sheeran. After achieving the goal of playing the song fluently, I realized by each song I play, it gets addicting because of the satisfaction there is when reaching that desire. I thought I would never play a new song by each week in just 30 minutes of practice every Thursday with a mentor.

If I could go back in time, I would watch more videos of other professional and recreational ukulele players to see what their style and what details they put when playing a certain note or a type of song.

Practice until Perfection...

This week is a short week (no Friday or Monday) due to weather day. I am going to my ukulele lesson today, and hopefully I'll learn a new song with an additional scale. I've been practicing little by little everyday, and I think I've got the basics of it. 

Little Time, Loads of Work

This week, I couldn't go to my ukulele lesson due to the drastic weather that day. Although, it has been a busy week, I've had some time to practice. 

Some of the good things that have happened is how flowing one song can go. Even though, it can be hard to master a song with its complexity, I can always accomplish it with time and practice. You need to take your time getting use to the song and how the movement of your fingers will work out from chord to chord. With practice, it can come perfection. 

One of the hardest thing I've done so far is the music "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran. 

My relationships with my friends definitely strengthened through music. Each and every one are so fond of ukulele, that they actually want to try it out. My friend, Anna, who has been working on hers longer are communicating through the rough times of the journey.

Expanding my knowledge in music will help me through the course of life. There will be benefits and advantages in my present and future life. Band, which I hopefully will continue, is helpful when I have the background knowledge from the past. When going into universities and finding jobs, it will be handy if I have an additional skill to use in my future life.
