Ukulele

On an instinct I enrolled Aaron in a week of half-day ukulele camp. He totally loved it! Every day he learned a couple new chords and a simple song or two. Here he is at the family performance on the last day.




Aaron declared that he wanted a ukulele of his own, and what could be a more perfect birthday present? We got him this lovely concert uke from a musician in Seattle.



He plays all the time. He plays for fun, sings along sometimes, and goes back and forth between the uke and the piano, reproducing the chords. It’s wonderful! And it’s fun that it’s so portable. He took it with him on our recent trip to SF.



He even busted it out during some down time at the baggage claim, and immediately made friends with a banjo player.
