When my students first saw the ukuleles, their faces lit up with huge smiles—they couldn't wait to start playing! This week, we've begun learning the basics, and their enthusiasm has made every lesson even more special.\r\n\r\nThese instruments are already making a difference by building my students' confidence as they learn new chords and strumming techniques. As we continue, they will work toward mastering a full song, developing not only their musical skills but also their perseverance and teamwork. Learning the ukulele also introduces them to stringed instruments, giving them foundational skills that can transfer to other instruments in the future. Your support has given my students an incredible opportunity, and I can't wait to see how they continue to grow.
