    Knowing when to walk away is a really important one. Frustration can take the fun out of playing so putting it down, sleeping and trying again the next day is a good way to stay energised. I would say though, don't end on a difficult piece. End your practice session with something you play well. It'll remind you why you love the uke and just be a positive, fun time at the end of a hard practice session.

    I've had times myself where there was a song I just could not strum and sing at the same time, and the next day after a good night's sleep something just clicked and I could play and sing together no problem. It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do! It helps those new skills really sink in from working memory to long term.

    Iv found once iv mastered playing an easy version of my absolute favourite songs I'm then motivated to find intermediate versions and then gradually progressing onto advanced by say learning a bit of a tricky riff and adding it a bit at a time to the easy strumming version until I end up sounding awesome!

    This was Great. I totally agree with Slooooooow. It really matters. Another practice tip I tried was recording the same song just once a day for 30 days. Go back and listen to see what a difference 30 days makes. It's very encouraging for those times when you just suck and want to give it all up. Don't!....it's part of the journey. 🕯

    • @TheUkuleleTeacher
      @TheUkuleleTeacher  Год назад

      Recording yourself in general is actually a great tip - it's really helpful to watch yourself back and see what you're doing right/wrong. If I ever make a part two of this I'll definitely include it, thanks!

    • @ukulelepraises
      @ukulelepraises Год назад

      @TheUkuleleTeacher Please do. Recording used to be a Nightmare for me. I'm not afraid of too many things. Something about that little button would make me paralyzed. I call it "Cameraitis". I could NOT let that defeat me! 🤣. It took me about 9 months to get over the video part. I still choke on audio. But, not as bad. If I can do it, Yes...ANYONE can.
      I like your tutorials very much. ✌️
      Thank You,

    1:33 May I ask, what song this is? Is it something from Nintendo Super Mario? It sounds so familiar and happy!
    Can someone give me the name of the song, so I can look for it on the internet?
    Your videos are great. Some nights I am just binge watching them.
    Thanks a lot!

    Buy a few cheap (or not) ukuleles and stick them in every room so; 1) you feel guilty if you don't play them and 2) so a practice opportunity is never far away.
