Ukulele Share Day 2019

Post date: Mar 27, 2019

Right before spring break we had our "Ukulele Share Day" in 5th grade music. Back in January, I invited students to learn a song of their choice to play for their classmates for the share day. They practiced at home and at school during lunch recess. Some students chose to learn songs they found online, others learned chords of songs by ear, and a few made up their own songs. This is one of my favorite things I do with my students each year. One of my goals is to promote individual musicianship. That means that the students should be able to make a multitude of musical decisions without help from me. I love hearing what they can accomplish and seeing their enthusiasm for music.
