How to become an Expert Ukulele Player ... or at least better than you were yesterday.

Talent vs Practice ... Maybe Talented people have just put in the practice time?

Often my students say things like "That woman's such a talented player' or "I wish I had half as much talent as him"   I tell them ... Show me a person with talent and I'll show you someone who has put in the hours practising their ukulele.

Talent is but one part of the learning puzzle, You can be born with a great ear and great motor skills in your fingers but if you don't practice how good will you be?

Unfortunately people you have to practice, and Repetition is the key. A little often produces results.  Play your ukulele 10 minutes a day, everyday, and you will see amazing results.

But practice doesn't have to be a BAD thing, if you love ukulele then just take the next step and fall in love with practising your ukulele.  Develop better ways to practice, change it up, make it fun, push yourself to try new strums and styles, Steele yourself to reaffirm the skills you already know ... use it or loose it.

THE IMPORTANT BIT  find people to play with, I cannot stress that enough.  If they are better than you, then learn from them, if they are worse than you, then teach them how to be better. Playing with others is what making music is all about.  And perhaps most importantly, never give up!

Now its 'official' practice has been confirmed to help you become an expert in anything. That bit 'to help you" is the very important caveat.  Practice develops your talents.  Psychologist Dr. Anders Ericsson claims to have determined that anybody can be an expert at anything ...  to become an expert, it takes 20 hours of practice per week for 50 weeks a year for ten years (a.k.a. 10,000 hours).

Luckily you don't have to be at the expert level to have fun playing your ukulele ... But it's amazing how the 'talented good players' play every day, even if it's just 10 minutes a day.
