I am pleased to announce that Junior Academy will be playing Ukulele this year! We received 25 of these little guys from Donors Choose. I am asking that each JA music student bring a $5.00 materials fee to cover the cost of strings, tuners and general maintenance.
Ukulele in the Classroom is a methodical approach to developing musicianship skills in a range of learning environments including elementary and middle school classes, interest groups, continuing education classes, summer camps and private study.
The series features over seventy-five carefully crafted arrangements of traditional music from around the world, works by great classical composers and popular songs, each reinforcing elements of an ever-expanding skill set.
Above all, Ukulele in the Classroom is intended to engage students in a process that develops authentic musicianship and positive attitudes toward music.
We have a Ukelele at home - wonderful! Now if we only knew how to tune it...
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
