My Project

Many of our students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Most of these challenges prevent my students from attending school on a regular basis, which leads to students falling behind in their academics which leads to poor classroom performance.

Exploring instruments accessible to young minds is an essential opportunity for creating our students' confidence, foster academic growth, and nurture performance.

Playing the ukulele will help enhance their abilities to develop their skills. It also helps them to become more active in music and divert their attention in social media and other vices. Academically, this will train the brain to focus and concentrate as well as activate memorization skills that are essential in learning. The skills in playing the ukelele are also a prerequisite for learning how to play the guitar, which can be future endeavor.
