The Tucson Pops Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra of Tucson offer more chances to hear how melodies and accompaniment fit together.

A ukulele is small and easy to keep ready, which can suit a Tanque Verde home where practice needs to fit around family routines. If your practice space shares walls, gentle strumming and a sensible practice time help keep sound in mind; a ukulele is quieter than many amplified instruments, but forceful strumming can still carry. When choosing one, hold it and compare the feel of the neck and the reach between frets. In Tucson, you can see ukuleles at Gabriel's Guitars, Chicago Music Store, and Instrumental Music Center. Ask your teacher which size and setup suit your hands. Keep a tuner nearby, since strings can settle or respond to temperature changes, and check tuning before you play.
