Yo, I’m revisiting ukulele cuz I’m lowkey starting to fall for someone... and got dang your tutorials are reallly good. I’m still an amateur (literally), but I’ve been playing around with the Uke for say.... 7yrs, and have been exposed to many YT tuts. Your tutorial is on fire sis. Keep at it!

I really appreciate your videos, they have been so helpful. I wish I learnt an instrument in my teens when it was easier to learn new things, but you take your time and explain things in a way where it makes it so much simpler to understand. I don't get so overwhelmed or confused like I do most other tutorials for ukulele. Brilliant teacher 👏

Hello! The videos where you play songs and you show the chords on the screen and we can play alongside with you are very helpful. We learn easier when you play with the voice and the Ukulele and we can see the chords and lines of the songs and we play together with you. You can play longer parts from a song maybe create separate videos just for us to practice with your help. Thank you very much!

I’ve been playing consistently for about 2.5 years. I am a general music teacher and started playing to teach my students in my class and started making these videos to encourage myself to play more and figured I’d help more people along the way.

It seems to me that your voice does the melody because I don’t think I would know what song you were playing unless you sang along. Is that right?

@CoryTeachesMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. The singing is doing the melody and the ukulele is the accompaniment.
