Our New Ukulele Skills

2/24/2017

We're so excited to share with you a bit about our new ukulele curriculum! Each week, we dedicate 1-2 days to independent and group work as we learn informally from each other. Here's some of what we have been working on:
  • The C, G, A minor, and F Chords. The 6th and 7th graders have been using websites on their chromebooks as resources. The 8th graders have been using a packet to sequence their learning.
  • With that foundation, they've begun to pick a pop song that they want to cover by themselves or in a small group using ultimate guitar.com. They have learned how to read chord diagrams, and they're growing as independent musicians. I'm so proud of their hard work! 
So what's next?
  • We're going to learn the chords to some of our chorus songs so that they can accompany the whole group. They'll also  continue to work on covers of some of their favorite songs, as well as learn to write original songs. They'll have an opportunity to perform these at our coffee house or at Café of the Arts!
