Hey everybody. I could use some help from the entire ukulele community. Lemme give you some background here first though.
I have to write a 60-70 page masters thesis over the course of the next 10-11 months and as I love music, I figured "Hey, why not show the world the ukulele is a real instrument" and decided to pick a topic involving ukulele. I needed to pick a topic that help show the ukulele as playing music at a level higher than just chords and accompaniment and decided to transcribe cello pieces to ukulele and write about it. I was thinking about doing Bach Cello suites but I don't want to just copy what John King did. My goal here is to help make ukulele more respected so I need to move in a new direction. Copying King isn't the way to do that. So, enough talk already.
So, basically, I'm just asking for guidance or assistance from anyone. Anything from sources you might find to song suggestions to even just a supportive note will be appreciated. Tell me if what I'm trying to do here isn't clear, I'll go more in depth.
Thank you - JJ
