My ukulele student struggles with spelling and reading, and this affects their ability to recall names of chords and parts of the ukulele. So this week we played around with some silly mnemonic devices! We created our own silly phrases to remember the names of the strings. G C E A Gold Cats Eat Apples. And when we had issues with spelling or printing we laughed and worked through it together. Only time will tell if it works to help out memories long term!
