#learnhowtoplay

Now, in the past I have played the piano as well as the guitar. Neither one of those instruments really interested me. I basically played because I had to. I found the piano to be boring and the guitar was a little too difficult for my chubby fingers at the time. But now, with the ukulele, this adorable, mobile, and easy-to-learn instrument, I have no excuses. Not only is this an instrument that you can easily take with you wherever you go, but the music that it makes is beautiful. It has this island-feel to it that just makes you want to close your eyes and imagine that you are in Hawaii, donned with a floral necklace, moving your hips and grooving out to Hawaiian jams. 

I was first introduced to the ukulele by a guy I was seeing at the time. I always saw this ukulele sitting in his car, and I always wanted to hear him play. I came downstairs one day to see him just sitting on my couch, strumming away at his ukulele. I was speechless. Then, he started singing. He played a few songs that I knew of and he sounded amazing. Now I don’t know if it was him or the sounds that were coming out of that little ukulele, but I was completely awestruck.
