    With a little practice between lessons and plenty of support from Lorraine I was amazed how far I came during the course. I had never really attempted a musical instrument before so I was very sceptical and shy at first. We all learned at different speeds but Lorraine was so patient and attentive she made sure no one was ever left behind. The best moments were always when we played as a group and realised we weren’t half bad! Though we learned so much in a relatively short space of time the whole experience felt so informal and fun – not a chore at all! Strumming away on a pub balcony on a warm evening with a lovely group of people is the perfect way to chill out after work. You realise what a sociable instrument the ukulele can be.
