Funded Dec 4, 2024I am beyond grateful for your support of our project, Strumming and Playing: Modern Ukulele and Recorder Curriculum for Success. Thanks to your kindness, my students now have access to engaging, modern curriculum materials that make learning the ukulele and recorder both fun and effective. While we already had the instruments, we were missing structured resources to guide our lessons — and now, that gap has been filled!
The excitement was clear the moment I introduced the new curriculum. My students couldn't wait to dive into the colorful, easy-to-follow lessons, and the interactive activities have kept them motivated and focused. With these materials, we've already started learning ukulele chord progressions and simple recorder melodies, giving students a strong foundation in music reading, rhythm, and performance. One memorable moment was when a group of fourth graders confidently strummed along to their first song, proudly following the new music charts.
Looking ahead, we're preparing for a classroom concert where students will showcase what they've learned, blending ukulele strumming and recorder tunes into a lively performance. Your generosity has brought structure and creativity to our music program, helping my students grow as musicians and boosting their confidence along the way. Thank you for investing in their musical journey — we couldn't have done this without you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Fox
