Simply put, more instruments equals smaller groups and more time a student has an instrument in their hand. More ukuleles will drastically improve contact time and boost the amount of students that can join instrument club. I can only allow as many students in the club as I have instruments in order to keep students learning non-stop. A diversified education starts with diversified materials.

Ukulele and Boomwhackers are a step in the right direction.
