Liberty Elementary School Music

Ukulele Club

Ukulele club is a 5th grade only club. It will start in January in the music room during recess on Tuesdays and Fridays from 11:30-11:55 pm. Ukulele club is a commitment that will start January 24th and go until our concert on May 4th. This is a very select group. I am only allowing 20 fifth graders into the club. After all the permission forms are turned in, it is up to me to decide which students will be in the club based on past student behavior in music class and a willingness to work hard to learn a new instrument during recess.

Here are the requirements for being in ukulele club:

-5th grade student with good behavior who wants to learn the ukulele
-Willingness to give up two recesses at week (Tuesday and Friday)
-Able to be at the May 4th concert that starts at 7:00 pm, Students arrive at 6:30pm
-There will be no quitting of ukulele club once you have joined. This is a commitment, please help your students honor this commitment.

Uptown Music, Guitar Center (both in Keizer) and Willamette Valley Music Company (downtown) sell ukuleles, cases, and tuners. A decent soprano ukulele will be around $40.00-$50.00, however, the more you spend the better the sound quality is. You can play them and test them out before you buy them.

Some good ukulele brands for a starter ukulele are Mitchell, Mahalo, Kala, Kohala, or Hilo. If you purchase a ukulele, please make sure that the back of the ukulele has gears that look like this:

It is very important that the gears look like this. Don’t buy it if it doesn’t look like this!

If your student does not have their own ukulele, I have some to borrow.

Besides the cost of the ukulele, Ukulele Club is $15.00 for a Ukulele Club T-shirt and our pizza party in May.

Once the club is full, the register button will be disabled. It is first come, first served. I will limit the club to 20 fifth graders.
