Hello All,
I've been asked to conduct a beginning group ukulele class for children from low income environments who are under-served in the area of the arts. My group class teaching experience to date has been with people over 50 so this will be a switch for me. I have no idea where to start as far as what songs to teach them. I don't think "Blowin' in the Wind" will resonate I'm also not sure about the usefulness of old Kids standards like "This Old Man" and "Hokey Pokey", for instance, and whether the modern kids even learn those songs anymore. I'm leaning toward things by Bruno Mars, etc. The songs must be appropriate for beginners as well, of course. Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks in advance!
Pat
