Learning Project

My Ukulele Journey Is Now Over This semester is finally over (yay!!) As an Assignment for EDTC 300 this semester, we were tasked with a learning project. When I heard about this assignment, I was a bit overwhelmed thinking about having to make a blog post every single week; updating randoms about my progress. When […]

Week Recap My progress is going very slowly because I had a super busy week with assignments as well as spending Easter watching my little sister play hockey! They won ‘B’ side.           (Just wanted to let everyone know I made these pom-poms from dollar store table cloth as well as […]

This week I looked into an online resource called Justin Guitar-20 Years. This is an online website where Justin the creator of it teaches you how to play the ukulele. Since getting acrylic nails last week I have been focusing back on the basics, strumming, finger placement on frets, and picking. I enjoyed the layout […]

As promised this week, I recorded myself learning a new song. I learned ‘What A Wonderful World’ this week. I got acrylic nails today and went to go play the ukulele and realized that it was much harder with nails than without. I went over practicing the song multiple times today and this was the […]

This week I focused on learning a new song on YouTube. The song that I have decided to work on this week is ‘What a Wonderful World‘. I didn’t have time to record myself this week but I would like to have a recording for next week for everyone to see my progress. (Stay tuned […]

This week I decided to try out another website called Musiprof, to see if it could change my mind from last week’s terrible experience. This website pleasantly surprised me. The first thing that I noticed was some FAQs, as well as some other resources for learning the ukulele (Beginner ukulele books). This week I focused […]

This week I decided to test out an article on how to play Ukulele. I have been using mostly interactive apps and videos so I thought I would give an article a try this week. I feel like if I were just starting and using this website I would be very lost and stressed out. […]

For this week I decided to use Youtube as my tool to help me learn my first song. I had been practicing all week with a video posted by Ricky Somborn. I would take time to pause the video and play at my own pace. I’m still in the learning process, so I had to […]

This week I tried out the app Learn Ukulele. My first impression of this app was great because it asked me questions about where I was as a player and what I wanted to learn. I chose that I was a beginner and that I wanted to learn simple things, like how to strum, pick, […]

This week I tried out the app Yousician, this app was amazing. I put time aside every evening and I have a reminder on my phone for 9 pm every day to pick up my ukulele. I started by making an account and using the free trial. Right from the beginning, they ask for permission […]
