My one and only ever ukulele student turned her ukulele up like that. She was thirteen. I reminded her time after time after time to sit up straight and not tip the ukulele back. I never could break her of it. She has moved on her own now, but toward the end I found out that she doesn't do it if she is standing. If I had it to do over, maybe I would have her stand more. I don't know if that is an option for you or not.Yes, she tried it just yesterday, and she prefers her tenor, much to my surprise. She’s finally doing a little better and is encouraged. Yes, she uses a strap. I noticed this weekend while sitting she tilts her uke way back so she can see her fingers on the fretboard. I suggested she hold it straight up and down and lean her head forward to see her fingers. This tilting habit might be a lot of her problem.
