Wow, I've been so busy that I just noticed that January 24, 2012 was my one year ukulele anniversary.
Exactly one year ago on that day, my Makala Dolphin Orangeburst Soprano arrived from Music Guy Mic!
Now, 12 months later I'm:
* working on my James Hill Ukulele Initiative Level 1 Certification
* teaching ukulele to kids on Tues and Thurs every week
* teaching ukulele to homeless moms twice a month
* giving ukuleles to lower-income kids and moms who complete our program requirements (2 thus far!)
* teaching ukulele every Saturday to an intergenerational United Methodist Church group which we've named the Uke-a-rist Ministry (our first performance will be the last Sunday in February. We'll be doing He's Got the Whole World in His Hands, KumBaYa and Aloha Oe).
My oldest student is 86! My youngest student is 5!
I'm so very grateful to UkuleleUnderground, that UkuleleMike MusicTeacher on YouTube, James Hill, Uke Republic, Music Guy Mic and locally the Academy of Music, Park Place Child Life Center, Resurrection United Methodist Church and especially the ukulele itself for completely transforming my life through sharing music!
* kind of bemused by all this! *
Thank you Ukulele Underground Peeps for providing inspiration and information over the past 12 months!
