These Kala Makala Soprano Ukulele packages would bring tremendous opportunities for my students in our Ukulele club. My students currently do not have any exposure to string instruments in our music classroom. String instruments are a vital part of instrument ensembles, song writing and musical performances. A Ukulele is a great introductory instrument to get students familiar with how to strum and pluck a string instrument. Ukuleles will bring our school community together as a accompaniment instrument to songs and pieces we are learning in class and as a Ukulele performance ensemble. The Ukulele club will meet once a week to enrich their musical experiences with the brand new string instrument. Students will learn traditional music literacy as well as how to read Ukulele chords. To be successful at playing the Ukulele, students will need to learn correct playing posture, fingering and strumming techniques. Students will learn basic care of the Ukuleles, responsibility, leadership and teamwork techniques as the club rehearses together. The club will have various performance opportunities in our two yearly concerts! I know my students will greatly benefit from the new opportunity to use these Ukuleles! Ukes will enrich my students' musical experience and allow students to express themselves creatively and promote life long music making.
