Mrs. Rafferty’s Classroom Edit display name

The goal is to teach the basics of ukulele to my fifth grade music classes. It is an easy instrument to learn and will help them gain musical confidence. The students will actively learn about melody and chord structure, and learn to accompany themselves as they sing along! The student who learns a little can play a lot! By learning three or four chords, a person can play and sing hundreds of songs. The dream is to teach the ukulele in hopes that my students share, play and enjoy the music of this instrument way beyond the years they spend with me in the classroom.
