I absolutely love teaching the ukuleles in 4th and 5th grade! However, every child is different, and some children may prefer other instruments, such as xylophone or recorder. So, we first started "In the Jungle," learning and identifying the home/rest/away chords in the song, and began to play on the ukulele. But then, we switched over to learning/playing the melody on xylophones and recorders. Some kids shine playing different instruments. So, I want every child to have an opportunity to TRY every instrument part for "In the Jungle," but they are eventually going to choose their favorite part to practice more and perfect. It always seems to work out, and we will have a good number of students on each part. Once they practice their individual part and learn it well, we will put all the parts together for a class "cover" of the song "In the Jungle." Below are some pics of the kids in progress!
