Program for schools

This program will enable you to establish a ukulele program and to
integrate it into the school curriculum. We present a series of classes
to teach the students to play the ukulele and generate enthusiasm.
We also run a series of workshops for teachers, providing them with
the resources to carry on running the ukulele program:
These teacher workshops willl;
· Teach them more advanced ukulele method to 4and 5 chord
song level, including basic theory.
· Demonstrate the components of the program and teach the
techniques required.
· Develop a graded curriculum that will adapt to class progress.
· Develop a teaching program with lesson plans and competency
and assessment indicators.

in program development.
· Provide the teaching resource, “Learn to Play the Ukulele”, 60
page colour instruction book and CD written by the program
coordinators.
· Provide a working song book with supporting “play along”
audio CD.
· This ukulele program supports engagement in school
curriculums through:
· Songwriting, to explore personal and group issues and using
songwriting as a means of expression.
· Musical arrangement: using the solfege octave (doh, ray, me
etc.) to build melodic structures for the songs and then add the
accompanying chord pattern. It sounds complicated but really
is a simple process.
· To record these songs using free multitrack recording software
and an inexpensive microphone.
· To mix recorded tracks and perform basic sound engineering
tasks.
· Produce mp3 and audio files to burn to a CD
· Prepare the artwork and design and print the CDs and CD
