    Wait....why should a ukulele lesson for seniors be any different from a ukulele lesson for anyone else? ...more bathroom breaks? Do you talk louder? Frankly, I find the title of the video somewhat ageist and insulting.

    • @litaloveistheanswer1620

      Because this lesson was done for the nonprofit LITA organization which is dedicated to helping senior communities in long term care facilities. I run one of their programs called "Bridging thru Music" which brings volunteer musicians into these facilities to perform in Marin County California. I created it based on my experience teaching ukulele to groups of older folks and the sometimes special-needs they have may have. The fact that people outside these communities can get something from this lesson is an added bonus.

    Thank you. These are easy to follow lessons. The camera angle, however, makes it impossible, for a novice, to see which fingers are actually pressing on the strings. I had to refer to diagrams of the chords.

    I commented under another post (oops) but want to say a bit more. Rob I am 62 years old and always wanted to play a musical instrument. I bought a couple Ukuleles so am using the concert size since I have arthritis pretty bad but really want to play. I found you today and did my first lesson today. I am excited because I do believe I can learn to play the Ukulele after your lesson. Thanks so much! You do not know how encouraging this was to me! I look forward to your posting more lessons.

    I am not a senior, I'm 18 years old, but this is the best tutorial I have found yet. The material is presented in an easily digestible way, and the tutorial goes slower than most I've found, which makes it much simpler to follow along. Thank you!
