As our musicians grow-up, there is a desire to play an instrument and explore music-making that can last a lifetime. Ukuleles are accessible for our intermediate grades and motivating for our oldest elementary students. An exciting goal to reach after working hard in their primary years! These ukuleles can enrich my students' music education experiences by providing a deeper understanding of chords, accompaniment, and timbre with a real-world application. It is my greatest hope, that the ukulele experience provided at my school will inspire students to find an affordable ukulele to purchase and to continue playing for a lifetime. I can hardly wait to unveil the ukulele curriculum to my students!
