Here are few Snake Oil pitches you get on-line BUT NOT Here on LearningUkulele.com:
- Learn Step-by-Step and Master the UKULELE in less than 30 day • Step-by-step is good depending on the steps, but—30 days—really Ask any accomplished musician how long it took them to get where they are today. Most will say they are still learning and working on their goals.
- Practice Only a Few Minutes X Days a Week • We've all seen these claims for achieving something with little or no effort. It just doesn't work like that, YOU HAVE TO PUT THE TIME & WORK IN. • You get out of what you put into it. Every day is actually one of the secrets. It's just like saving for the future. Save one dollar or euro a week, or save one dollar or euro a day—who has more money one year later? You would be surprised at the young students who don't know the answer is 52 vs. 365 (366 on leap years).
- Learn Without Learning Scales or Getting Bogged Down with Fancy Theory • You wouldn't try to be a writer without learning about the alphabet, words, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and the grammar that puts it all together. Music is no different — the established principles of music that have worked for centuries and are based on the science of sound and acoustics. Pretty must everything in music originates from some sort of collection of notes, i.e.,
Scales.
However, you can and should learn the principles of music at some point? It does cut down on the amount of information you need to memorize in the long term. - Learn to Play Like (insert your favorite artist's name here) • There is already one of them and countless wannabe clones. Learn to unleash your inner musician / artist. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE — As there can ever only be one of you. As Dr. Seuss said
Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
However, you can and should learn the sources that your favorite players have drawn from, as you can draw from those same sources. - Uke Like a Pro • Only if you study with a real professional.
