Did you know?…….Eastern Charlotte has a ukulele group! They meet every Thursday afternoon at 1:30 at the Masonic Lodge in St George! We have every level of players. They also have a lot of fun!! Interesting tidbit… Why does everyone recommend piano as the ‘best first instrument’ for older adults? Because it’s visible, familiar, and culturally associated with serious music learning. But familiarity doesn’t equal accessibility. Here’s what they’re not telling you about piano as a first instrument after 60: Your left and right hands must do completely different things simultaneously. That hand independence is neurologically challenging when you’re learning music fundamentals for the first time. It’s not about coordination—it’s about your brain building new pathways while also managing motor control. You’re reading two clefs at once (treble and bass), each with different note positions. It’s like reading two languages simultaneously. Most beginners find this overwhelming before they’ve even touched the keys. The financial commitment is significant: $500+ for a decent digital piano, thousands for acoustic. That’s a hefty investment before you know if you’ll enjoy playing music. Progress feels slow because you’re drilling scales and theory for months before playing recognizable songs. Many people quit before experiencing the joy of actually making music. Piano isn’t a bad instrument. It’s a bad first instrument for most older adults. What works better? An instrument that removes these barriers entirely while teaching the same musical fundamentals—rhythm, melody, harmony, chord progressions. That’s why the ukulele consistently ranks highest in student retention for adult beginners. Not because it’s ‘easier’—because it removes unnecessary obstacles between you and making music.
An announcement was made today by the Federal Government. ‘Many Canadians need immediate support when it comes to food affordability. To support those most affected by the rising price of food, the government is proposing a new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit to help more than 12 million low- and modest-income Canadians afford day-to-day essentials. Subject to Royal Assent, this benefit would come into effect this spring.’
