An introductory talk on how the Ukulele traveled from the Madeira Islands to Hawaii...an introduction to the wonderful "Jumping Flea".  This is a truly international classroom--nearly every student here was born outside the U.S.  This introduction was followed by a group lesson in how to play...Over several visits to this school, students learned two chord songs & sang songs together.  I love my work!  :-)

Many thanks to these wonderful students, Elise Golove, Michelle Schroeder & the Federal block grant that funds this BATC program--which connects classroom teachers with professional artists to support the development of new curriculum for Music & Arts teachers in Buffalo NY.
