I would love to give my older students the opportunity to learn how to play different instruments. I would love to have a class set of ukuleles to help me teach my older students how to play a string instrument!
Ukuleles will open the door to teaching music theory, rhythm, melody, harmony, and even composition in a hands-on, memorable way.
Students can quickly learn basic chords and strumming patterns, enabling them to play and sing along with familiar songs early in the learning process. This immediate success builds confidence and fosters a love of music.
Ukuleles are a fun and educational instrument that can significantly enrich the elementary music experience. They empower students to make music in a meaningful way and lay a strong foundation for lifelong musical engagement.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
