Cat Plays Ukulele

Dear friends,

I’m going to be leaving Instagram and Facebook soon. (I might join another social platforms, but I might not. I will still be on YouTube, but that’s not the same social-wise.)

BUT I’d love to stay connected with all of you! If you’d like, you can join my mailing listing and we can keep in touch the old fashioned way by email!

https://www.catplaysukulele.com

Or send me a DM with your email address and I’ll share mine with you too. 🎶🌸

Rainbows and Baritone Practice 🌈🎶

Day 11 of 100: I am doing two different 100 day projects this year. One is a music project practicing baritone ukulele everyday. The other is a mindful art project creating a rainbow everyday.

Today, I decided to combine both projects! Here is a process video of a rainbow of bubbles I drew and painted. I paired the art video with a little baritone ukulele music I wrote inspired by the bubbles. I love finding ways to combine my visual art with my music!

All Shook Up - ukulele play along

This classic was recorded by Elvis Presley in 1957. “All Shook Up” was written by Otis Blackwell.

With only three chords, this song is great for beginners. I hope you have fun playing and singing along with me!
