Malala Elementary's "I Lava Ukuleles!"

Musicians are in the Making at Malala Elementary! Given a $1,486 teacher grant, the school purchased 28 Makala Soprano ukuleles for students to use in music class. The students apply their music theory knowledge while mastering the instrument. They have learned chord progression and individual notes, performance etiquette and have gained show-ready confidence in performing in an ensemble. With enough practice, the students will also write their own ukulele songs through guided improvisation!
