At the beginning of the year, I bought a uke and started to learn how to play it. I just completed the 30-day Uke Challenge by Bernadette Teaches Music and it was really good. She’s got a nice teaching style and goes through things at a good pace - not too fast, not too slow. Highly recommended.

It’s interesting learning how to play an instrument as an adult. I took a few years of piano lessons as a child but don’t remember anything. Maybe the location of middle C? It’s an interesting challenge both to physically play and also to get a mental map of how music works. I’m enjoying it quite a bit and will look for an in-person class to help me move ahead as it’s hard to figure out how to do everything if you are just watching a video.
