I want string instruments in my kids hands! Ukuleles are light, small, and easy to start. They will be so pumped and happy if we can get their hands on ukuleles. Help us get them started! Learning to practice! Students will learn how to teach themselves something new with these ukuleles. Learning to play a new instrument builds confidence, helps risk taking, and develops proper practice methods. Ukuleles also help students jump of to other instruments. Once they can play one instrument and read music they can move on to another instrument! From ukulele to guitar, recorder, and/or drum set. They all translate to each other and this is just the start
