My Powtoon Proposal

My Adobe Spark 20% Time Proposal

The Past Two Weeks

     For my 20% Time Project, I am learning to play the Ukulele.  I am making excellent progress so far.  First of all, I borrowed an excellent book from the public library called, Ukulele for Dummies.  Second, this past two weeks I spent four hours practicing new chords.  My biggest hurdle is learning to memorize the various chords in order to play the song, Your Welcome from the movie, Moana.  To make this a bit easier, I decided to print out this ukulele chord sheet I found here (see below).  This was very helpful!  I am also still using this site because it is the best one I have found.  It makes playing easy and fun.  Check it out here! Overall, I am well on my way to learning the ukulele.

My First Blog Post for 20% Time

What I Will be Learning
I will be learning to play the ukulele for my 20% Time Project.

How I will learn it?
I will take a group lesson at The Guitar Center in Henrietta and then use ukulele sites on the internet to learn new songs.

What I have Accomplished so far?
I had my first group lesson.  It was fun.  There were only two people in the group so we received individual attention.  We learned how to tune our instruments.  Then the instructor led us through playing our first song by teaching us what frets were and how to finger specific chords.

Then I went home and found a great ukulele website that teaches you how to play popular ukulele songs.  I'm learning how to play You're Welcome from the the movie Moana.
