Coming to music could be so exciting with this new instrument that many have never had the chance to play! Every student should have their own, and they'll learn to play songs and sing along with them. Learning to play the ukulele will enhance musical concepts and get students using different parts of their brain. Music in our schools is a CRUCIAL thing, and keeping students interested is what will keep it alive! Many students yearn to learn new things, but the same old concepts are taught. Ukuleles are slowly taking over school music programs, and I'd love to pave the way!
