How we kept going in lockdown
During the 2020-21 lockdowns, the Ukulele group continued to enjoy meeting every week using Zoom. We found that if we all play together, the differing internet speeds made it sound disastrous! We discovered the way round this is to have one person leading by playing and singing, with the rest on mute. We did take it in turns so it made us practice for our solo. Once a month a music teacher runs the session to expand our knowledge of different techniques.
By playing from home we were also discovering diverse musical talents; a show and tell session revealed washboards, banjos, Nepalese singing bowls, gongs, drums, pianos, and multiple percussion instruments (to name but a few!). We built on our playlist, and we added “When I’m Cleaning Windows”! You can see from the picture what enjoyable sessions these were, with thanks to our convenor Alan.
