@triciaot and @greg1956 I just picked up the ukelele and I can attest that it is easier than the guitar. What joy it has brought me. Just remember to relax, have fun and don't worry if you cannot make all chords...some of them are tricky no matter what instrument! Joy, joy!

My son sustained a severe traumatic brain injury. He is permanently disabled and dependent on my husband and I. While he accepts his new situation, he fights to improve what he does have and explores other ways to make his life fulfilling. For an example, he does not have good breath control and his speech is very difficult to understand, so he cannot play the horn instruments he used to play (baritone, trombone, trumpet, french horn). So, he explored other musical expressions. He also has difficulty with fine-motor skills; he cannot write well or for a long time and he cannot brush his teeth. But his fine motor skills have improved with practice, so he is taking piano lessons. I would encourage all brain-injured people to explore the arts and attend concerts, art galleries/museums, garden...and take a lesson or two. The arts are magical. Always remember to take a breath, relax and just enjoy the doing, instead expecting the perfect. May your life be blessed with art!
