My Favorite Ukulele!
/I love my Makala Dolphin Ukulele! I purchased mine when Jim Hickey (owner of Jim Hickey Music https://jimhickeymusic.com) and I decided to teach a few Music Together/Ukulele classes together a few years ago. I didn’t play it a lot after that until I took a trip to Music Together’s headquarters in New Jersey to work on my Level 2 certification. I needed an instrument to play the Hello and Goodbye songs on and my purple ukulele was the perfect sized instrument to take along. I had such a fun time with my ukulele on this trip that I made a blog for my kids just to show them all of the fun places it went with me, and the fun people we met! You can check it out by clicking on “My Music Together Cert 2 Experience” under the Preschool Music Drop down tab or here http://meandmypurpleukulele.blogspot.com/ if you’d like.
Part of completing the level 2 Music Together certification is to do a project at the end. I decided to see what impact adding more ukulele playing to class, and equipping families to play at home would have. If you click on the Ukulele tab at the top it will take you to a free course on how to play the ukulele with your child. My son helped me make some of the videos. Those are some of my favorite music making memories with him.
If you find yourselves at home a little more right now I encourage you to take time to sing, dance, and learn something new that maybe you’ve been to busy to do before!
