String musical instruments can develop children's understanding of pitch, melody, and rhythm, and exploring creative movement. We can expect students to learn better about the fundamentals of music by playing string instruments in the classroom. During the pandemic, it became impossible to play the recorder or any other blown instruments in the classroom. One of the best alternatives for that is the ukulele. The uke is one of the world’s friendliest instruments for young children. Its small size, portability, lightweight frame, and easily pressed-down strings can make it one of the most interesting instruments to play. Children can combine melodic, harmonic, and chordal playing, and singing, all at the same time by learning the ukulele. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase our students' creativity, but also you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
