Presentation

For my 20time presentation, it will most likely be done on some type of digital medium, probably a powerpoint. On this powerpoint, i will show pictures of my ukulele as well as the equipment that goes with it (i.e. case, tuner, etc.). i will also bring it in to show to the class. my actual presentation will be me just giving you some details on what my 20time is, who taught me, what i plan on doing with this in the future, and so on. I will also try and play a little. One thing i learned abot playing uke is that learning a song is difficult because it requires constant practice to learn every pluck and strum. This is the reason why i chose not to play Bohemian Rhapsody and Let It Go because 1) they were way above my level and 2) they were too long and i dont think that i would remember all the parts of the song. So before the actual showcase i have to learn a shorter, easier song to play.

Let It Go 2

This week i learned the opening music of Let it Go from Frozen. This week im going to work on the first verse, "the snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen..." i plan on learning the complete song or at least a couple of verses.

Let It Go

This week i decided to change to a song that seems less difficult; Bohemian Rhapsody is too long and complicated. I chose the song Let it Go from the Frozen because it seems pretty easy and short. Right now im working on the opening music to the song. Next week i will hopefully be able to learn the opening and start the 1st verse.

Playing Queen Cont.

This week i learned to play "Anyway the wind blows doesnt really matter to me, to me." I am currently working on getting the next lines down. My next 20time may include something along the lines of design or art

Back to Playing Queen

This week i took a little rest from playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps and started back on Bohemian Rhapsody. I started learning the part, "because im easy come, easy go, little high, little low," although im not quite there yet. Im still trying to progress on that part. Next week i will either continue the rhapsody or go back to my break song.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

i learned the first 30 seconds of the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps on the ukulele. I will continue to learn chords for this song until next week, which is when ill resume the Bohemian Rhapsody.

More Learning

This week, i took a break from learning Bohemian Rhapsody and started learning a new song. Right now im learning the first parts of the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Next week ill continue learning the chords for the song.

Learning the Song

This week i learned the chords for "Open your eyes. Look up to the skies and see. Im just a poor boy, i need no sympathy." Im still working on learning how to play bohemian rhapsody as well as playing other songs. i pan to learn the next chords for the song later.

Starting My song

Today i started playing the song Bohemian Rhapsody on my ukulele. I learned to play the beginning of the song, "is this the real life or is this just fantasy caught in a landslide? no escape from reality."  next week i plan to learn more chords of the song by reading uke tabs.

Playing The Uke

This week, I learned basic things pertaining to the ukulele, such as scales, basic, chords and songs, etc. Right now im continuing to learn the basics of the ukulele as well as looking at some ukulele song videos. I plan on learning to read ukulele music later on.

Starting 20Time 1-19-14

Today i decided to make my 20Time project about playing the ukulele. Right now, im getting my ukulele in tune with the electronic tuner that came with it. Eventually i plan on playing a complicated song,  but for now i want to start learning basic chords.
