20% Proposal

For my 20 time project, I would like to focus on learning a new instrument. I have found modern string instruments such as guitars and ukuleles appealing. In the past, I learned how to play piano and violin. However, I had to give up both due to not having any time to practice. With 20 time, I view it as the perfect opportunity to pick up an instrument. Also, my church is starting a worship team, and I would like to play an instrument for the specific purpose. I plan to do most of my learning outside of school. This would involve practicing and watching YouTube videos. I have already found one source to learn from. This man is the Ukulele Teacher on YouTube. After watching some other musicians playing ukulele, I found out that they all learned the basics from this man. What the Ukulele teacher does is show us the chords to popular and modern songs. During class time, I will spend it reading up on the instrument and listening to ukulele music. Unfortunately, I still need to buy the instrument. In order to measure my progress, I am going to take videos of me playing in order to see progression. The good thing is, beginner ukuleles are very affordable! All in all, the real reason why I want to do this as my project is because I miss the feeling of playing an instrument. What appealed to me the most is how portable the ukulele is. I am looking forward to learning a new and modern instrument! Hoping to perform in front of my church and lead praise.
