uke school


Halmoni was gracious enough to give us some spending money for our vacation last month.

With her permission we decided to buy ukuleles -- one for Katie and one for me and Papa Wickie.

Ironically, we bought our ukes from this guy (below middle) whose picture we saw at the nearby Kaliua music store.


Later we bought his album which is pretty good!

We purchased a soprano uke for Katie and a concert uke for the grown ups.



We have been having a ball with them.  We've been trying to get Katie to strum with her pointer finger, but she's intent on doing it her way for now.

Our friend Will has promised to give us some actual lessons soon which we are looking forward to immensely.  But until then...

Katie is so adorable strumming. She looks intensely focused, pausing her strums as she finds he next word. Funnily enough, when I stopped in at a local-ish library today there was an women's ukelele group playing. It took me straight to Rarotonga.
