This is the start of our second year of Ukulele Instruction here at St. Joe's! I am so very happy to welcome back Mr. John Radice - founder of the Buffalo Ukulele Club. He comes into school once a week and teaches a class to our 5th graders. Some of the students from last year's 5th grade class come down the hall and join us! It is our goal to get the new 5th grade group of ukulele players comfortable on their instruments and playing 3 or 4 chords easily, as we advance the now 6th grade students with a few additional chords. We are hoping to have a few songs prepared for the school Christmas concert - fingers are crossed! So far we are pretty solid on C Major, F Major, and G 7th. This past week we introduced, A minor and C 7th!
