Most days when my students enter the music room, their first question is "Can I play your guitar?" Their eyes light up when they have a few minutes at the end of class to take turns strumming while I play chords, and the feeling of accomplishment they gain from that moment is heartwarming to see. I know that my students will be thrilled to learn how to play the ukulele in music class, as many of them do not have the opportunity to take music lessons outside of school. A ukulele unit will give students a chance to utilize the skills we learn each week, such as reading music. My students will also learn responsibility and accountability by handling and caring for the instruments. My goal is to show students in a fun and engaging way that with hard work and dedication, they can achieve anything they set their minds to - whether it's playing a musical instrument, conquering a challenging subject in school, or overcoming any other obstacle they may encounter throughout life.
