Trent- once you upload to youtube I think you just copy paste the link for sharing into its own line here in the forums and the video magically appears if it’s like soundcloud. Good luck!

I just saw Andrew’s post on Instagram, I didn’t realise the deadline was today, I almost missed it! Here’s my effort at The First Noel…

Merry Christmas everyone!

So sorry for your hurt, kayleighb.
Remembering you in my prayers.

Here is the link for December challenge.
Not as clean as I wanted it and struggled to memorize. I am also a member and made a donation to the kids uke program.

Last minute for me too, but fortunately the sun goes down earlier for me.

I tried to focus the timing and had some aha-moments at situations when I usually tend to hang behind. Tho, I could not fix all passages due to a lack of time to practice.

Still I hope you can enjoy listening to my record:

kay, so sorry to hear 🙁

I’ll give you an entry this month cause you rock! Thx for being an awesome part of our community!

Well, it’s almost the 11th hour (literally) and I have no choice but to post what I have so far. Every month, something new about the beginner level choice keeps me challenged. December was no exception. On top of trying to work on my timing and dynamics, this song was deceptively difficult to memorize. WHY?! Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I am thoroughly unamused with the mistakes I didn’t even realize were there until I watched the playback. 😤

The other thing that hung me up in practice was the thumb strum/picking. I am absolutely awkward at it. It was a struggle not to sound choppy or loud in random places. 🙁

Anyway, here it is. Happy Christmas to those who celebrate! I’ll be working Christmas Eve, so I might not be able to see who won the Kanile’a until later in the evening, but it’s been an amazing journey seeing all the submissions these last few months. I’ve learned a lot in the process and have very much enjoyed watching/hearing the entries.

My December entry: First Noel

I’m a premium member. I still need a lot of practice but love playing my uke more and more thanks to all the lessons and also the challenges.

Love the Kids Ukelele Club initiative. Of course, a no-brainer to donate. Hope more kids get to enjoy the uke as much as I do.

So first I’d like to start by saying that I love all the submissions! So I thought this challenge was due on the last day of December and had to rush to learn the song. Lots of errors and you can tell where I didn’t memorize the song.

Also I’m getting married on the 29!!

Hi everyone,
This is my version of The First Noel. I apologize for the late upload and the somewhat poor sound quality. I have been dealing with a Lyme disease flare up which has made it very difficult to concentrate on tasks that require any type of motor skills. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Good luck everyone!

[Andrew]
