Where Do I Go from Here?
While I've given you quite a bit to work on and practice, eventually you'll
become a master of all this. The beginning stages of something can
always be the most difficult, but I know for a fact through your hard work
and discipline you'll hit your stride in no time. Here are some ways you
can "speed" this process up.
Develop a Practice Plan
When you create a plan for practice, you're creating a plan to get to the
place where you want to be. What songs do you want to be able to play
on the ukulele? What techniques do you want to master? Answering these
questions can provide you a direction for how you want to structure your
practice times and what things you work on.
Setting up a practice plan also forces you to carve out time in your usy
schedule. Even if you can only spare 15 minutes a day towards practice,
doing this consistently.
is better than spending a couple hours once every couple weeks.
Right now, it would be a perfect time to jot down a couple goals and find
a regular time in your schedule to practice the ukulele. The goals don't
have to be extensive. It could be something as simple as "I want to be
able to play the song titled
Seek Out Inspiration
by next month."
I've noticed in my own life that I'm most motivated to push forward in my
growth as a musician if I'm surrounding myself in ways I can be inspired.
Sometimes these are totally unrelated to ukulele, but there are a few
things that can help.
