Having these ukuleles in my classroom would ensure that all my students will have access to learning this amazing instrument. Not only will they be learning basic music elements, but they will reap the benefits of having music in their lives. Some of these benefits include increased memory capacity, enhanced coordination, refined management and organizational skills and improved mathematical skills, just to name a few. A study by psychologist Glenn Schellenberg further found that kids who participated in ukulele lessons had “larger increases in sympathy and pro-social behavior” than those who did not. He attributed the ukulele classes with creating a collaborative environment and forming social bonds between children who sang and played together. I hope to bring this same phenomena into my classroom and instill a life long appreciation of music and the love of ukulele in the hearts of my students.
