Dear Fellow Pluckers!
Dr Liz Price from the University of Hull in the UK is exploring the ways in which music making might both protect and enhance mental and physical well being. The principal focus of the survey is the ukulele. This is what Dr Liz says about the research project... (Thank You all for taking the time to read and consider this!!!)
Hi Everyone,
In addition to being a fellow plucker, I am also a social scientist, working in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Hull (UK) and I wondered if you might be able to take a couple of minutes to help with a piece of work I am currently undertaking.
I am hoping to attract funding for a further piece of research which will use the ukulele as a tool in interventions for people who are experiencing mental distress. As it stands, however, there is very little ‘hard’ evidence that the ukulele provides any positive benefits to those who play (by contrast, there is much anecdotal evidence which suggests the benefits are very real and lasting).
This short survey (which has been granted ethical clearance by the relevant Research Ethics Committee at the University of Hull) will, I hope, begin to generate an evidence base that will allow for further work in this area. It should only take a few minutes to complete, but your contribution would help immensely.

ukulele has helped me immensely, it always lifts me out of a depression and it soothes my anxiety no end, I really hope this goes somewhere good!
