My Project

Our school community is working on building a variety of after-school opportunities for our students and I am looking to start an ukulele club!

WHY THE UKULELE:

1.) Portable and easy to travel with!

2.) Works as a solo or ensemble instrument!

3.) Helps develop ear training and music theory!

4.) Inexpensive compared to other instruments!

5.) Can be played while singing!

We will work hard to build a joyful musical community around a kid-friendly instrument - the ukulele - and help spark the joy in making music with others.

Mr. Gorby Hampden Elementary School 55 Grades 3-5
