We Want to Play Ukuleles! Part 3

My students need 5 ukuleles.

  • $209 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach general music in urban city. I teach music to over 600 students at 2 elementary schools, grades K-8. Students sing, play instruments, create music, and compose. My music students in grades 4-8 are interested in learning how to play instruments that would allow them to create music in a social environment. The language arts school does not own a large number of age appropriate instruments for students in these grades, and we do not own any instruments that would allow these students to perform music while singing in a group. In order to have my music students perform, create, and write music on age appropriate instruments in a way that would best meet their social needs and interests, I am requesting 5 standard ukuleles to be used to students at the language arts school. While the instruments will be used by all students in grades 1-8, they are intended for those in grades 4-8. Students will learn the history and culture of Hawaii and Portugal. Students will learn how to play chords, how to strum, and they will learn to sing songs as they accompany themselves on the ukulele, and eventually they will compose their own songs. Your donation to this project will make it possible for our school to have a ukulele ensemble, and for our music students to continue to develop skills in singing, note reading, and composing.
