I spent my one month vacation in my sisters’ place when my youngest sister first introduced me to this cute-little stringed instrument called oo-koo-lay-lay. I was fascinated at its size and how adorable the sound it produced. She taught me 4 basic chords ( C,G,F,Em) and gave me her ukulele before she went to her boarding school. By the time I reached my place I decided to learn more about this cute instrument. As I learn, the interest and love for ukulele grows. I have to practice and learn alone since most of the people in my town have no idea about ukelele. I “self taught” by getting my resources from the internet. I introduced ukelele to my fellow musicians and our local youth groups; their response was amazing. They too fall in love with ukelele. Every time play my ukulele I would have curios people (mostly strangers) coming at me asking questions and giving their compliments. What a way to make new friends!<br /> Ukulele has been a good friend of mine since 2009 and it never fails to entertain me and others. Wherever I go, ukulele never fails to bring smiles in the faces of the old and young alike. This why I love ukulele. <a href="http://my%20journey%20with%20ukulele%20started%20all%20the%20way%20back%20in%202009.%20i%20spent%20my%20one%20month%20vacation%20in%20my%20sisters’%20place%20when%20my%20youngest%20sister%20first%20introduced%20me%20to%20this%20cute-little%20stringed%20instrument%20called%20oo-koo-lay-lay.%20i%20was%20fascinated%20at%20its%20size%20and%20how%20adorable%20the%20sound%20it%20produced.%20she%20taught%20me%204%20basic%20chords%20%28%20c%2Cg%2Cf%2Cem%29%20and%20gave%20me%20her%20ukulele%20before%20she%20went%20to%20her%20boarding%20school.%20by%20the%20time%20i%20reached%20my%20place%20i%20decided%20to%20learn%20more%20about%20this%20cute%20instrument.%20as%20i%20learn%2C%20the%20interest%20and%20love%20for%20ukulele%20grows.%20i%20have%20to%20practice%20and%20learn%20alone%20since%20most%20of%20the%20people%20in%20my%20town%20have%20no%20idea%20about%20ukelele.%20i%20“self%20taught”%20by%20getting%20my%20resources%20from%20the%20internet.%20i%20introduced%20ukelele%20to%20my%20fellow%20musicians%20and%20our%20local%20youth%20groups%3B%20their%20response%20was%20amazing.%20they%20too%20fall%20in%20love%20with%20ukelele.%20every%20time%20play%20my%20ukulele%20i%20would%20have%20curios%20people%20%28mostly%20strangers%29%20coming%20at%20me%20asking%20questions%20and%20giving%20their%20compliments.%20what%20a%20way%20to%20make%20new%20friends%21%20ukulele%20has%20been%20a%20good%20friend%20of%20mine%20since%202009%20and%20it%20never%20fails%20to%20entertain%20me%20and%20others.%20wherever%20i%20go%2C%20ukulele%20never%20fails%20to%20bring%20smiles%20in%20the%20faces%20of%20the%20old%20and%20young%20alike.%20this%20why%20i%20love%20ukulele./">CLICK HERE TO KNOW HOW I LEARN UKELELE</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8515104600835439207-2717373322062132704?l=ukelelegirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Graceila Griffithnoreply@blogger.com0
