A special achievement

Greetings to all, once again here. This time I want to talk about how it has been after a year and some months the experience of being with a new instrument, it is the Ukelele, it is of Hawaiian origin and the idea of playing it came up because I always called my attention to its special sound.

I have to mention that I did not know anything about it, I was just studying a little of his notes and the truth is that I felt that I could put myself the challenge of learning and so it was, I was still living in the city of Lima, and my husband encouraged me to buy it, so I decided to get down to work in looking for a nice model, and compare prices, I did it both in person and online.

It turns out that in the Ukelele there are different types, the soprano, the concert tenor, it should be noted that this does not influence its tuning perhaps in the fingerboard yes, but not in its strings, this same influence is in the size of the instrument. As I felt that the soprano Ukulele was too small and I was going to start playing and learning I decided for a medium one which would be the concert, it is still small, but not as small as the concert and still looks subtle and special which was what I wanted. The purchase was online, I sent for it to the center of Lima and that's how I got it in my hands for the first time.

It was beautiful and with a sound that I had never appreciated before, its color is very nice and the material is excellent, it is a not very common instrument so I felt and I feel that I have one of the best purchases of my life.

I am very grateful to God and to have a partner in life who has always believed in me and has motivated me, I learned the notes pretty quickly, I thought I would first learn to play and then sing together because as you know sometimes it can be difficult to be attentive to an instrument and sing at the same time. In this opportunity it helped me a lot already the previous and basic knowledge in music, the ear is often everything, because I did not study music or singing professionally, but there are things that just come out by themselves.

Of course I speak and practice this as basic as possible, nothing professional, but I have advanced quite a bit as time has passed or rather a year, although there were some months that I stopped because the work is too consuming. I didn't think I could learn something so fast and especially this instrument.

My reflection and my learning before all this is that always believe in yourself, when you like or want to do something dare, if you do not try you will never know if it is destined for you. Do not stay with the desire, everything is a rain of learning and if everything goes well you will feel at ease because there is nothing that God does not give you the wisdom and possibility to do.

It's nice to know that you can do special and different things, that maybe are not so meaningful for other people, but for you it's a start or a chance to make you what you can with a lot. greetings!
