There are so many parts to building this program, and you have helped make it that much easier to access this instrument. We were unable to purchase tuners due to supply issues, so we pivoted and bought ukulele shoulder straps instead. This was an excellent purchase since students get tired of holding their ukuleles in their hands, and now they have more stamina and excitement for learning new songs. \r\n Our full ukulele program will begin in January, and kids are chomping at the bit to get started. Many students have already expressed their excitement to begin the unit and have dozens of song suggestions. In the spring, we will perform our first ukulele concert, and your donation was essential in making this opportunity a reality. \r\nThank you deeply for helping us make music accessible to all.","fullyFundedDate":1758636610778,"projectUrl":"project/ukuleles-tuners-for-our-ukulele-program/9651075/","projectTitle":"Ukuleles Tuners for Our Ukulele Program","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bates","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8893349"},{"teacherId":9849065,"projectId":9107472,"letterContent":"You have truly given my students the gift of imagination!
