Ukulele - Unit 1 (intro, parts, history)
Ukulele Music Class -
Unit 1 intro, parts of the ukulele & history
(more to come!)
My school fundraised for ukuleles during the pandemic, and now I have 29 sopranos housed in 2 big huge tupperware's on wheels (that makes them easy to transport around)
- My ukulele is tenor (bigger and louder), and I had a button put on for a strap… - very necessary for wandering around.
- I have a little ‘service bell’ that I use to get their attention in class - rings above it all!
- this is a fairly easy instrument to learn so don’t be scared!
- these units are geared for grade 7 & 8 - I don’t teach this to younger grades, my students are too difficult to teach earlier!
I will keep posting more units, as I compile them - please share to others you know teaching music at your school in case this is helpful! This is how I start my first music classes - with this unit 1!
