Another group of fledgling Ukeologists graduated last night after a 4Week Session at Donald Quan’s beautiful Musideum studio in Toronto.  I witnessed their transformation from ultra beginners to avid, addicted, adventurous, creative, excited, joyous players. I’m so proud of them. And as happy as they look, that’s double for me! Unfortunately, because I’ll be leaving town for New Brunswick from Feb.23-Mar.18 to do “The Musical of Musicals” at Theatre New Brunswick (with my good pal Jennie Toulmin, who was the Anne to my Marilla for 4 seasons of “Anne of Green Gables” in Charlottetown – reunited – YAY! ), we’ll have to wait to do another session of workshops. That gives them all time to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and then blow me away with their unbelievable prowess when I return. With the ukulele, it can happen!

I discovered this recently, …  made me smile like crazy, …  this is what it’s all about.

LOVE YOUR UKULELE!

Congratulations to the fledgling Ukeologists at last night’s Week #1 of the 4 Week Session in Toronto, at Donald Quan’s beautiful Musideum Studio. We had a great time, and learned so much in a mere 90 minutes! Onwards to Week#2… practice, practice, practice… have a glass of wine … practice… sleep… eat… practice…

Discover happiness in 4 little strings…….

Friendly, lightweight, portable, inexpensive, easy to learn, and undeniably smile-inducing…..that is the ukulele….an inexplicable, simple joy, right in the palm of your hand.

Learning to play the ukulele will elevate the bliss quotient in your life to giddy levels! More fun than meditation and better for your liver than a jug of martinis.

If you’ve ever thought you might like to try it, join the revolution…..the uke has never been hipper!
