Overall I like this a lot. I’m a little confused which statements you are using the numbered or asterisked sentences.I know they are related, still a bit confused. Another element you might consider is in #1– is it useful to distinguish between how the instrument sounds when you try to play in the beginning or as it is supposed to be played…Read More

  Thank you, Joel! Very detailed as always. The formatting here is a little limited. I’ll be fleshing out the numbered points in 5 videos (overview, each point, summary). The asterisks represent bullet points for the first video. #1–finished product sound; #2–how it feels to play; #3–this is funny, because “learning curve” was the phrase…Read More

    Sorry, it maybe that learning curve is better for me than challenge level, and there maybe a more direct way to say it. Or maybe, I’m just Fickle! LOL!!!

      Yes, I’m sure I managed to take it from bad to worse! And it’s really good to know. But actually #3 is the words I plan to use, and everything below is just notes. Thanks as always!

I really like this and love love the title. I have a curiosity around #2 – they don’t know how to play yet so is it about “how it feels to play with it!!!” – although that’s awkward languaging – but I do know what you mean. how it feels to hold the instruments? (although a piano you won’t hold it necessarily)…
the asterisk – the first one -…Read More

  Thanks, Daniela! Regarding #2 yes, I wish you could join us! There will be teachers at every station assisting folks with proper set-up and technique. You’d get an idea of how fussy each is (ukulele–not at all; violin–very) and whether your body (neck, shoulders, etc.) is more suited to one than another. Of course, this is just a taste, and…Read More

I love this so much! I have a desire to learn piano and ukelele… but #3 is definitely a barrier for me. I’d LOVE to visit your petting zoo though. 🙂

  Thanks! It’ll be our first time, but I bet it will be a blast! Ukulele is actually the speediest track from zero to hero. Didn’t I see instruments hanging on your wall in the Zoom call?

Looking good! I don’t quite understand the scale of 1 – 10 for what confidence feels like. How good it feels? Please include a time zone for the workshop in your post and on the landing page. Love the image of the kitty looking in the mirror! Is there a way to get a higher resolution photo?

  Thanks so much Ruth! I will definitely include the TimeZone. The kitty-lion image one used to be found all over google images. I will look for a higher resolution version. And I will examine the numbering again, and see if I can make it more relatable or look at dropping it. Thanks again for all the great feedback.
