My Project

Imagine a room full of bright-eyed children, each holding a ukulele, their faces lighting up with excitement as they strum their first chords. I'm asking for funding to bring this vision to life by purchasing ukuleles for our elementary music program. Ukuleles are fun, easy-to-learn instruments perfect for young students, and they bring a sense of joy and creativity to the classroom.

Right now, our music program is missing the magic that individual instruments can bring.

Introducing ukuleles will fill this gap, providing a hands-on, engaging experience that gets kids excited about music. With ukuleles, students will learn musical concepts and develop a lifelong love for making music. Plus, who can resist the cheerful sound of a ukulele?

The plan is simple: I want to make music class the highlight of every student’s week. I will integrate ukulele lessons into our music curriculum during my intermediate students' class time. Imagine the thrill of a classroom concert, where students proudly showcase their new skills! I'm hoping to even encourage some adults in the building and community to begin playing too!

Our budget request will cover 20 soprano ukuleles, (almost enough for an entire class) a very good start to our string family inventory. I am committed to keeping this program thriving by maintaining the instruments and seeking additional support from our community.

With your help, I can transform our music room into a vibrant space where every child feels the joy of playing an instrument. Let's make music class the best part of the school day and inspire a new generation of musicians.
