Ukuleles will give opportunity for my upper elementary and middle school students to expand their limited knowledge of string instruments without the horrendous price tag. Not only will this introduce them to playing instruments, but allow them to become familiar with an instrument commonly played outside of a music classroom. With increased interest, my hope is that students find a passion that will kinder a more dedicated music involvement. With these ukuleles, my students will be afforded an musical experience that enables them to create and perform. There is a plethora of sheet music that has the chords to popular songs, exciting kids to learn the tune and sing along. Once kids have the knowledge to play simple chords, they’ll be able to play the along to many songs, encouraging students to practice and master the instrument. Not only will getting ukuleles increase the students' level of dedication, but also teach them the diligence it takes to learn an instrument. Not only does my classroom already lack many instruments, but supplies are especially scarce for the older students. Ukuleles would be very much appreciated a school that lacks funding for a traditional band or orchestra program.
