Hi All!
So, a funny thing happened on Thursday. My dear friend invited me to her son's birthday party -- not the funny part -- and she asked me "can you play a few songs for the kids at the party, on a ukulele?"
She knows that we have a ukulele, and that i'd tried learning it when DS was smaller, but never got back to it.
Well, it's Saturday, and I can tune it, hold it properly, strum it properly, and I know both the C and F chords! I don't have the rhythm down right, but I'm getting there. :D
Apparently, Fere Jacques is just the c-chord, and I have a fun movement game that uses that tune -- so that's song one *down*.
now i'm trying to find 2-3 more songs that are 1-2 cord songs that can fit the bill. :D
i figure that 3 yr olds may only want to do a few short songs, and i thought we would do some without the ukulele and then finish up with 3 songs using the instrument.
I feel really accomplished! :D
