What Principals, Parents and Kids Are Saying…
Hi There, Cheers Mrs. Janina W. Hi Marianne! Just wanted to let you know how awesome our assembly went this morning! It was so great to have both Will and Brian here. They came early to tune the ukuleles and organize the students for the performance. Both stayed for the duration of the assembly and took the time to go and congratulate each student on their hard work. It meant so much to the students and parents who came for the performance. What great instructors! We are most definitely interested in starting back up again in the fall - as soon as possible - and if we can, we'd like to request that Will and Brian return to Seneca Trail. Both are patient, fun, energetic and understanding. We'd love to have them back with us in September! Thanks again, Sara Thank you so much for such a nice program!
My son Emiliano (grade 3) plays piano quite well and he is enjoying the ukulele so much. He plays ALL the time and EVERYDAY after school. I wonder if you guys have any guitar classes or you could recommend someone?
Thanks a lot
Cheers Paula Zavala
I would like to take the time and thank your organization for offering this program to schools. It’s a good change from the regular lunch and play in the school yard, having the kids not only do something constructive, but learn a new skill/talent. Thanks, Shawn
Thank you for all you are doing to teach my daughter, and others, this wonderful instrument! I was beyond amazed just how much Eryn learned in her very first lesson! She came home and showed her father and I her ukulele and all it's different parts. She practised the song they had been introduced to and she even showed us how she has to tune the ukulele herself! Quite the cute little song that they know in order to see if it's in tune or not! Thanks again! Sincerely,

What Schools Are Saying… We loved the program and thought it went very well. I believe it was well received by the students and parents.Your instructors were very polite and professional. We are certainly open to doing this again next year. Take care. "Thanks so much Tim for a beautiful performance! The children were amazing! I have been very impressed with the program here at Harrison. The enthusiasm and energy that you and your staff brought into our school when the program began was remarkable. You managed to capture an audience of 220 children during your promotional visit by sharing fun music that everyone could relate to. Your company was able to accommodate a variety of age groups by bringing in skilled and quality instructors to deliver the program. The bright and colourful instruments are carried proudly to school every Wednesday by students in the program. Last year, during our Grade 6 Graduation a group of students planned and performed a song together and three of them were playing their ukuleles! This was all done on their own initiative. Ukulele Kids has introduced a new skill for many of our students which is something they will be able to expand upon and develop for a lifetime! Janet Ricciardelli Thanks for all of your hard work. It’s been a pleasure having your program Karen had wonderful things to say about the program and gave me some background information …to meet with you and discuss anything I can do to support the program and a schedule. Thanks for your dedication in helping to foster a love of music performance in our students! The ukulele performances went very well. It was great to see the kids up there really getting into it. Parents were especially pleased. I think it would be beneficial to have the program again in the fall. Parents have expressed an interest in having their children continue on with the lessons. Sounds good Geoff! Great performance last week! Appreciate your flexibility Geoff. We are a busy school but programs like yours are so valuable to that holistic education. That is amazing!! I am so happy! I can add a section in the newsletter that goes home tomorrow about the kindergarten students being able to participate and still register. The winter session sounds good. The program has been a big hit and I know the parents really enjoyed the performance on Thursday. I would be happy to offer it again in the fall. Thanks for working with me for the tea...the feedback was great! The School Council members are all for the program! All the parents and staff are pleased to have you join our school community. “The Ukulele is a fun and easy instrument to learn for people of all ages. In both the Community Centre setting and Retirement Residence settings, this program has enabled many seniors to learn a new instrument in an engaging and fun manner. People in their 80 and 90’s can and have learned to play this instrument! The best part is singing along while they play the songs they know and love.” Pat Earl |
