Aloha Uke

April 7, 2008 · 1 Comment

ukeOver spring break, a ukulele magically appeared in my hands. I’ve been playing non-stop since then, and have developed some fairly amazing fingertip callouses.

Since I sing, I’d never been too sad about my lack of instrument but I am now seeing hilarious possibilities for the classroom as well as entertaining my roommates. I am particularly interested in playing metal/rock on the uke. It’s fun to share my new skills with students here at school, and show them that I have to start at the beginning just like they do.

Perhaps I’ll share a little uke with you soon…

    I think you are right on track if you take this into the classroom. I broke out my guitar in Networking Technology class this semester, much to the surprise of my students, and sang them a song I made up about TCP/IP subnetting.

    Do it before school ends for the summer! You won’t regret it!
