Uke Can Help Young Musicians Get Ukuleles

Help me give my students a class set of Mitchell MU40 Soprano ukuleles. The Aquila strings and Foxany felt picks will be helpful for my students with varying learning needs to follow along more easily.

My Project

My students love music class, but we do not have a lot of instruments. They went through several music teachers during the pandemic, and I am the first music teacher they have had for more than one year since 2019. We only have 8 glockenspiels and some percussion instruments. My 4th and 5th graders, especially, love coming to class, but they need more engagement and more challenging lessons. Ukuleles are the best choice for us because they are compact, easy to store, and easy for children to hold.

Ukulele lessons are already a part of the music curriculum, which is a program called QuaverMusic.

Sadly, my students skip these lessons because we do not have ukuleles. Many of my students ask about the ukulele, as children this age are often interested in fretted instruments.

If you fund my project, my students would have enough ukuleles to participate the whole class. This project would benefit 4th and 5th grade students in 2 schools, as I can share materials between both buildings.
