"When the teacher is not-quite-ready, the students appear..."
Soooooooo, I've only been playing for 2 months (I got my Makala Dolphin, GoodDaySunShine on January 24, 2011).
I love her so much that I brought her along to my kids' songwriting/drumming/dance project last weekend, along with my NotAStrumStick Cigar Box Strummer for accompaniment and enrichment.
The kids loved her so much that they requested that I teach them how to uke, too!
So this week I printed out tabs for Alicia Keys' No One (4 chords!) and brought along my Tonk Banjolele (yet unnamed, but leaning towards Truck, for Tonka Toys or WakanTanka).
All of them learned C & Am and 3 of them learned G (most of their fingers couldn't do G).
Next week the Green Paisley Ukadelic (woo hoo!) will arrive, so I'll have 3 Ukes (8 kids in class) and one strummer (harder for them to press b/c the action is sooooo high).
I'm thinking of getting the Teacher's Editions of the James Hill Initiative Books -- Anyone have reviews/ suggestions?
Thanks muchly!
Maiyah, who's learning just fast enough to stay ahead of 7 - 14 year olds
