Our 5th Graders have been eager to learn the Ukulele. I borowed some from another school to teach in past years, but with the threat of Covid, I am not able to share instruments accross schools. Please help our students to get a chance to learn and play the ukuleles. These insturments could be used with the most up-to-date teaching techniques to include all learners in the classroom. Students will learn that music can be used to brighten our communities. Ukuleles will be a catalist to spark musical creativity for all our students.
