Day 3!

I recently upgraded and purchased a more expensive, concert ukulele, which has more frets, and has a bigger tone than a soprano.  We focused a lot today on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" because I want that to be the song we play for the final presentation.  I helped James work more with a pick today.  They can be helpful because when strumming with your hand for long periods of time, it can actually hurt; the pick also gives off a louder sound.  James also began to learn how to strum up AND down and is working on combining them smoothly.  The song stated before is an excellent song to practice this since the strumming pattern is consistent throughout almost the entire song, and is fairly intermediate.

We are on our way.
