The Music room at my school is rather small, and does not offer much space for movement or storage of larger sets of instruments. This means that during music lessons where students are supposed to be playing a group of instruments (ie. xylophones), we have to create a time-consuming rotation line that leaves a lack of room to perform additional movement and several students with nothing to engage their bodies and minds. A classroom set of thirty ukuleles will enable all my students to engage their minds and bodies in making music without feeling cramped for space. The soprano ukuleles I am requesting are the ideal size for elementary students, and are a wonderful introduction to string instruments. Ukuleles also provide the the opportunity to teach students about chords and harmonies, and encourage those students to sing along with the music who might not otherwise feel comfortable singing. For my older students who are unable to participate in Band due to financial constraints, the donation of a classroom set of ukuleles would give them hands-on experience with an instrument. The music club and performance opportunities with ukuleles are endless. Soprano ukuleles are also easily stored on one cart, which, in addition to being convenient for storage, makes them transportable to other classrooms if my room (which serves as the stage) is needed by someone else. By donating to this project, you will be helping increase student engagement and focus, as well as enriching their experience with music. Please help me put instruments in the hands of all my students. Thank you.
