Last week I got to go to a ukulele concert! Alaina is in 6th grade and is taking a creative music class.
Here she is with her friend Quinn before things started.

Ukulele Concert
Here she is with her friend Quinn before things started.
How cool is that?! 😍 I think that’s a great thing to learn to play! I’m sure y’all enjoyed that so much!
ReplyDeleteThat’s nice that she is learning the ukulele. I was once told it is also called a jumping flea. My best friend married a Hawaiian who played. Odd name but I guess it has meaning or I missed something! 🙄
ReplyDeleteRemember Tiny Tim’s Tiptoe through the Tulips?
It looks like she is a natural. And this sounds like such a good class! I did not know you can learn to write a song, I thought it was just a talent that a person has.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice night. Our nine-year-old granddaughter also plays the ukulele. It's fun to see how talented our grandchildren are. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time with your granddaughters. We are lucky that we can spend time with your grands!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing experience! Ukulele concerts must be a blast, especially with a small and talented group like Alaina's. It's impressive that they're not only learning to play but also diving into the world of music composition.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, Mari
This is so wonderful!! The Arts are more important than many people believe and I am always so happy to see music and art programs flourishing in the schools. How fun for Alaina to have this in her life!! Great photos and congratulations to Alaina on a stellar performance!!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Alaina! I love to see children her age learning musical instrutments. And to think that she also is learning to write music! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see a ukulele I always think of the old entertainer Arthur Godfrey. What fun! I'm sure she did a great job. Music is such a wonderful talent to have. Blessings. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post!
ReplyDeleteAwwww so precious! I hate to be Debbie Downer but a ukulele being played is one of the sounds that makes me want to stuff nails into my ears. I don't know why. But I would be charmed by Alaina playing it, I am sure! Hahahaha xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a nice time. It’s nice for to play music she sounds very creative ! Glad you had a nice time with her.
ReplyDeleteI wish Alaina great success both as a performer and a composer!
ReplyDeleteWow, that’s amazing! What a wonderful experience for her.
ReplyDeleteYay Alaina! That's awesome. Annie loved the ukele when she was younger and had one and taught herself to play. It's such a neat instrument. I think music in every form is so great for kiddos to learn. And fun!
ReplyDeleteThe ukulele was my daughter's first instrument. It turned out to be a gateway "drug"!! We now have several of them, along with a collection of guitars and basses - electric and acoustic. Beware! Hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteLooked like a fun night for sure! How nice to have a uke class. Janice
ReplyDeleteThat is really neat!! I love that they are learning to play and write music as well! What great training! I never learned to play any instrument, and I feel like I missed out. But at least I did learn to sing in the H.s. Chorus! Great pictures.
