I had never heard of this project before but it makes so much sense! It seems like one good way to encourage kids to learn is to make learning fun. And, as anyone who has ever played a ukulele can tell you, it’s impossible to play ukulele without a smile on your face. Everyone needs one. We need more happiness in the world!

As an elementary music teacher who currently has a third grade class with their own ukuleles, I’m wondering how we can see the video portion of this project? We would love to see it!

This is an extraordinary idea! Using instruments to learn really does get through to students. It is something different that they are not expecting and it gives them another possible way to learn. This is a great concept to use with students because each student learns their full potential through a different method. Incorporating music in the classroom helps to reach a broader range of students.

This story really amazes me. I’ve never heard of teachers using ukuleles to help children learn through music, especially children at such a young age. I love the idea of engaging children in the complex thinking of music; I believe that it will definitely better prepare them for their futures in education. Music gives children a break from the everyday, ordinary topics in school and opens their eyes to a completely new world. Teaching music to children also requires a large amount of patience and I commend any teacher that is trying this new ukulele project! It is amazing that people all around the world a taking a chance at this type of teaching concept and the fact that it is really working, I believe, is a wonderful thing for the world to experience. I’m also glad that the idea of incorporating technology into the mix is present as well. The fact that this teaching concept is spreading through web-based views of videos and responses proves the importance of technology in our community, and just how helpful technology really is to education. I love this project!
