Today I will be blogging about how I started playing the ukulele. About two months ago I couldn’t figure out what to do for O.W.L (Open world learning). Then an idea popped into my head. I could try to play the ukulele. So I bought one and it came in just in time to start O.W.L. When I brought my ukulele home I started practicing right away.

When I first started playing the ukulele I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t know it had to be tuned or there were such thing as chords, I didn’t even know what strumming meant. I decided my first goal was going to be to learn some simple chords. I started finding it so hard to play it. That’s when I realized I was holding the ukulele wrong that whole time. I am right handed so I should’ve been holding it the right handed way, instead I was holding it the left handed way, that’s why I was finding it so hard to play my ukulele. So I fixed that mistake and kept on going. Once I had learned a few simple chords, I went on to learn a simple song using those simple chords I had learned. I started learning Twinkle, Twinkle little star. That was pretty easy so I went on to learn a harder song which was, I’ll see you in my dreams. That song had a lot of strumming patterns in it and harder chords so it was defiantly more challenging for me. In the end I had learned the intro to, I’ll see you in my dreams. I found a new passion for the ukulele and I love playing it. Its so calming and it clears my head. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this blog post!
