You won’t get left behind, in fact you’ll become part of a committed musical community!
Here’s some Practice tips to help you set up a routine:
* Pick a couple of times during your week when your mind is fresh & commit to them in your diary.
* Set up your Music stand, your Booster Uke charts upon it, a Metronome, a Pencil, so you’re ready to go. Please see links below to download the free metronome app – Tempo Perfect to whichever device suits you best
* Get your Practice Log page from class and remind yourself what you are practicing and tick it off!
* Log the metronome speed you are working at so you can notch it up slowly
* Keep your ukulele out of it’s case to wink at you every time you go past to remind you – hey pick me up !
Alongside a couple of serious devoted weekly sessions, it’s great to pick up your uke frequently, like you would your lovely cat, and give it a few strokes. Maybe even bang out a C pentatonic scale on the way to the bathroom.
Get your wee box of joy into your hands as much as possible!!
