That is awesome! I will be teaching a class at a summer camp here soon. 10 kids and they get to take their ukes home! I'll get pictures and post it once I am back (its in August)
And I hope those parents are as encouraging as the teacher though we know how that goes. And hopefully it will inspire in some a love of music and not just lock them into one type of instrument. I got locked into wind instruments. I hope the ones that get bitten by the music bug don't just get locked into strings.
...and I got locked into stringed instruments.... well, for the most part at least. Cello....uke...bass guitar...guitar.... yeah, all stringed. Well.... there is always that tinwhistle...
But yeah... it is great to see a bunch of kids with ukes... I mean... I don't know that many people who play the uke in real life... only one other person... that many kids... all together... with ukes.... wow.
Maybe I should try to get my friend to do some sort of summer clinic a year or two down the road for children... or people in general. Hmm...
