Description

By using standard and alternate tuning, you can turn your ukulele into a whole new instrument that makes different sounds. You can play on open strings and make music that will surprise you

Susan began writing music for one hand when she was going through carpal tunnel syndrome on her fretting hand. She knew there had to be a way to still play her ukulele. She then discovered how to improvise and create beautiful melodies. Susan also paired these with her acrylic paintings.

As part of the Ukulele Expressions series, Ukulele Expressions: Ocean Adventure has ten new musical pieces with an ocean theme. Susan added paintings of ocean creatures and scenes that are vibrant and will have you imagining you are right there, watching the waves roll in. Susan also included information about mindfulness and ocean conservation.
