If I am being totally honest, this week I have been overly frustrated with learning and practicing the ukulele. I found myself lacking motivation and feeling annoyed with the thought of picking up the ukulele and attempting to play. I know that I had other personal factors affecting my motivation to learn; however, I was hoping that they would not affect my excitement to learn a new skill, but to my dismay, they did.

Later on in the week my mood picked up the slightest bit and I found the motivation to practice on tuning my ukulele with an app that one of my classmates recommended. The app I used was the insTuner, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instuner-free-chromatic-tuner/id603425027, it is available on the App Store and it is free to download. I also practiced my two songs- Row, Row, Row Your Boat, and the Canoe Song for my blog video for my music midterm. I am struggling quite a bit with transitioning between chords throughout the songs, I feel as though my fingers don’t stretch in the way they should. This also can contribute to some of my frustrations !
