Hey all, I was just kind of seeking some advice. I have always wanted to get my Sunday School students to perform special music for church using the ukulele (I tend to have 4 to 7 at any one time). My Sunday School kids range from 4 years old to 12 years old (small church, hence the large age range). Since I scored a lot of 9 ukuleles, and since I will have 6 playable ones by the time I am done repairing them, this is becoming a reality now.
My plan is to take about 10 to 15 minutes out of Sunday School each Sunday and teach the kids three chords and we would then use that to practice a three chord song (or two chords if I can find a song they like that uses only two chords). I will NOT let them bring my ukes home as I know the kids will mistreat them and forget to bring them back every Sunday. A couple of parents may buy their kids a cheap $20 uke, but some are on tight budgets, so even a $20 uke will be too much for them.
Anyhow, how doable would this all be? My sister is a music teacher, but she isn't always able to help me, and she, like me, believes the kids would learn more if they took the ukes home and practiced daily, but as you see, that may not be an option.
Any advice you all can give me would be great, even 2 to 3 chord song ideas.
Thanks,
Dan
