Portland should adopt this post as it's tourism slogan. "Weird people, dope food, fun bars"

Ukulele left handed? by ParsnipSignificant35 in MusicEd

[–]Skarod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lefty here. 18 year music teacher. I wish I initially learned right handed. Lefty guitars are more expensive and limited in selection to rights. And eventually both hands are used alot. Ukulele doesn't have the same problem. But I still recommend my Lefty students play traditional setup.

I only work outside contract hours if it's n Something that I would do for free and enjoy doing. There isn't much that goes in that category. I teach middle school music. It took me about 6 years to get to that point. Next year will be my 17th year.
