The music room at Jones Intermediate sees over 100 students from 3rd through 5th grade every day of the week. It is my goal every day to extend the joy of music to every young person that walks through my door. "It makes you let your guard down. It brings out the child in all of us. If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place. Sometimes I can't think of a better way to end my day than coming home and just strumming my ukulele for a few minutes." -Jake Shimabukuro
