I was recently in a meeting with a consultant,and of course music came up,and I mentioned I play a few instruments. After a few more moments in this meeting,the woman mentioned how she and a friend had taken a ukulele class last year,and now she has no time to play it. She was not happy with the false belief that she had no time for it. So,as I usually do,I made a suggestion.
"Why not take your ukulele to work with you?"
She was delighted with the idea,and towards the end of our meeting,she told me how excited she was to start taking her uke with her. I mentioned she could play on break or during lunchtime. I know this because it's what I did at the last day job I had. I was just starting my uke journey, and I would sit outside and strum chords or pluck out tunes. Back then my phone wasn't saavy enough to have a uke tuning app on it- the phone I have now has one so I never have to worry about taking my clip on tuner.
I also mentioned she could "steal" 15 min or so at home to play as well. during commercials on TV,while relaxing with a hot cocoa,anytime you have those inbetween moments. Waiting for a friend to stop by? Play your uke while waiting.
Doing holiday baking? Play your uke while the goodies are baking in the oven. Start looking at finding time to play like a treasure hunt.....it's usually those "inbetween times".
