Hey everyone! My parents got me an ukulele for Christmas this morning! It's a soprano/standard from Oscar Schmidt (she's a beauty), along with case and learner's book one. I'm very excited to start learning this instrument. After one day, I can play the simple melodies to "Frere Jacques," "Mary had a little lamb," "Twinkle twinkle little star," and "oh Susanna," as well as the C Major Scale. Tomorrow I plan on learning a few more notes and songs and slowly progressing into chords.
I really want to learn how to play "real" songs as soon as possible, but I'm having a problem knowing where to start online. I played French Horn and Mellophone in high school, so I'm already accustomed to treble clef music, but everywhere I look for sheet music online, all I can find are tabs. Can anyone help me out?
Anyway, I guess this wouldn't be a proper intro without a little about myself (though most of this can be found in my profile already)... I'm a student at the University of Kentucky, majoring in Natural Resource Conservation & Management. Yeah, I'm one of those hippies who's into environmental sustainability and saving the earth (but I've always been like this, even before it was hip to be green). I love kayaking, traveling, spelunking, reading, hiking, camping, and (of course) music! I also ramble a lot.
I hope to get to know the community better over the next several months as I'm simulataneously becoming more familiar with my uke. Tschüs!
