In a classroom with class size ranging from 30-33. The ukulele is small and easy to manage and situate in this setting. In terms of volume, playing ukulele is softer when all musicians are practicing simultaneously. We only have 10 soprano ukuleles which is not enough to start a full ensemble. That is why I am asking for 20 soprano ukuleles and 4 tenor ukuleles for variety. Students will learn basic strumming technique, simple chord progressions and traditional folk melodies. Students will start building a vast repertoire on the ukulele and in order for this music making process to occur we need these instruments to play. I would like to also incorporate song writing/composition with my classes. Having these instruments will motivate and inspire them to be their very best musician and composer.
