Show up: You can’t get great by yourself in the basement. It doesn’t happen.
Practice: Do something every day. Every day!
- Tune up every time.
- Do your “Make a Better Bar” worksheet every time.
- Play your difficult stuff. You don’t need to play an entire ensemble piece … only work on the tricky parts.
- Leave 30% of your practice time at the end to “just play.” You need to play things you love and are too easy for you at the end of each practice session to remind you how wonderful the ukulele can be and to help you become smooooth. You might even memorize a song accidentally if you play it regularly. This is good for your brain and your heart.
Ask for help: Seriously, there’s a lot of great helpers (and a few with really tragic ideas) and plenty of music instructors and tons of ukulele knowledge all around you at every rehearsal. Don’t suffer in silence.
Try not to complain. That’s what real life is for. This is a magical activity. Enjoy the challenge. Becoming enlightened means accepting things as they are.
