A love of music allows people to achieve surprising things. Because of carpal tunnel in her left hand, Susan Montgomery needed music that she could play on the ukulele with only one hand. Finding any music of this type is difficult. However, she did not give up. Instead, she composed suitable music herself and focused her creativity on the theme of nature with her series of Ukulele Expressions books. In this second part, she concentrates on the sea. In Ukulele Expressions: Ocean Adventure, Montgomery shares details of her life so that readers can better understand her work. The ocean symbolizes water as a means to take the mind away from the pain. With each musical composition, she adds a painting created by herself.
Ukulele Expressions is a highly recommended book for beginners in music. The compositions are etudes that will help improve finger dexterity. The sheet music is presented in ukulele TAB and Standard Notation. Susan Montgomery explains how to read TAB as it will help beginners to play the songs. Standard Notation allows you to play the music on other instruments such as the piano. Susan Montgomery also explains finger positions and other details. The contents of the book are visually pleasing. The paintings have a harmonious combination of colors, while all the images convey tranquility and are perfect for promoting moments of relaxation. Because of this, the book is a combination of mindfulness and art.
