Mrs. Delcamp, our music educator, and I are sponsoring the Windermere Ukulele Orchestra again this year. Windermere differentiates itself with its commitment to collaboration and we have enjoyed bringing our 3rd grade classroom together with music in such a meaningful way.
The WUO is a performance based learning experience that provides students with early instrumental success, continued vocal learning and exposes students to genres of music they would otherwise not be aware of: jazz, ragtime, early country and blues, and tin pan alley tunes from the 20's - 40's with the occasional pop song.
The ukulele has a short learning curve while also offering limitless instrumental possibilities. Our next performance is June 2, 2011 at 7pm in the multipurpose room.
I am planning on hosting multiple Ukulele Summer Camps as well. Be sure to check back soon for more information.
