My Project

This project will help us with our ukulele and recorder units as well as make our spring concert more exciting. Music helps students with social and emotional well-being and being able to fully experience music with the proper equipment will be an enormous benefit.

We are very lucky to have a large collection of ukuleles.

Unfortunately, we don't have batteries for our tuners and we have no extra strings if a student were to "overtune."

The googly eyes will help my grade 3 students distinguish between their left and right hands so that they can use proper holding techniques with their recorders.

The kazoos are so my fourth graders can perform a fun song that includes singing and kazoos.

This entire project will help my grade 3-5 students experience music making and care of instruments to their full extent.
