This music class may be the only opportunity for many of our students to learn about music or play an instrument. In addition to learning an instrument, the subjects of language arts and math will be integrated into the curriculum as students will learn counting, measures, beats, syllables, timing, rhythm, patterns, rhyming, and much more! A child benefits from playing an instrument as they learn perseverance, experience success, improve their memory and math skills as well as reading and comprehension skills, learn responsibility, and gain social skills. Ukuleles are a great starter instrument and a gateway for children to explore music and other instruments. Ukuleles are also an instrument that families of our students can afford and attainable for the students to play, so they may take what they learn from this class and explore it on their own.
