My students come into my class eager to play instruments; however, I do not have enough instruments or music materials for all of the students, as some of the classes are doubled up. It is my wish to provide my students with hands-on experiences that would introduce them to strings and percussion, as well as pitched-percussion instruments to compliment existing class instruments. The goal of this music project is to encourage students to become active participants of a music instrumental ensemble. Playing Ukulele string instruments and drums would prepare my elementary grade students for more complex music ensembles in the upcoming years. Ukulele and drums, would provide my students with necessary skills in chord progression and rhythm in order to build a foundation for future years, and create a fun music environment for students with diverse needs.
