We are considering doing free musical instruction clinics or camps in rural areas of Central America.
I would like advice on what instructional books would be the best to use - and we may have kids all the way down to 1st grade/pre-school level. At present we can look at English language books because the target country is probably Belize, where the official language is English and English is taught in school. Later we may need Spanish language books if the project is successful and expands.
I would also like recommendations on which is the best value for money on student ukes. Please keep in mind that the more the uke costs, the fewer we will be able to buy. We intend to donate these ukes to schools and churches so these are charity dollars that are being spent. I am thinking that we might buy 15-20 instruments.
I have been looking at the Diamond Head ukes. Does anyone know anything about the quality of these instruments? One of my greatest concerns is always intonation.
Thoughts?
