UKES ON THE MOVE! IN OUR SCHOOLS!
Our third grade ukulele and songwriting pilot is in its second year at Stedwick Elementary School (MCPS) --achieving resounding success. The first class of 19 students from 11 different countries learned to play dozens of songs on the ukulele, and wrote several of their own, including a brilliant song about plastics -- in time for the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 2020. Meet the students and Mary Ruth McGinn, their wonderful teacher, in this two-minute video produced by Montgomery County Public Schools.
