Since September I've been a part of the Luongo Ukulele Experience (LUE), an "adult" ensemble directed by Peter Luongo (of the well-known and well-traveled Langley Ukulele Ensemble youth group).
If you've ever taken a uke workshop from Peter you know he's intense--and one of the best instructors of any topic I've ever studied under. I joined LUE thinking I certainly had the skills necessary--and initially found myself drowning in inability and an "I can't do this!" attitude.
Here's the account of how it all worked out: http://www.ukuleletonya.com
(Spoiler alert: In 10+ years of playing I've never been so motivated or improved so much. Or had such fun!)
And, if you're in Palm Springs for this week's uke festival or Reno in April for that fest, you can take a "mini" version of LUE and try it, too!
