Mrs. Moeller’s 3rd grade music students have been hard at work learning to play the ukulele! 🎶
Students are practicing how to hold the instrument correctly, strum with steady rhythm, and play simple chords together as a class. It has been exciting to see their focus, teamwork, and growing confidence as young musicians.
We are proud of the effort our 3rd graders are putting into learning a new instrument and building their musical skills each day!
