Ever feel like you should practise ukulele… but just don’t have the energy or motivation?

In this lesson, I’ll show you how to get better at ukulele without “proper” practice. 

These are simple, playful musical games you can do when you’ve only got 5 minutes, a tired brain, or just don’t feel like a full session.

We’ll look at things like:

– Noodling in a key

– Rhythm practice with real music

– Soloing by ear (no scales required!)

– Musical mindfulness

– Creative “what if?” games

– And lots more

The goal isn’t discipline – it’s curiosity and play. If it feels like fun, your brain learns faster.

Perfect for:

✔ Beginners who feel overwhelmed

✔ Intermediate players stuck in a rut

✔ Anyone who wants to enjoy playing more

What you’ll learn:

– How to practise ukulele in short, low-pressure ways

– How to improve your ear without studying theory

– How to build creativity and confidence

– How to stay motivated without burnout
