UKULELE BUILDING WORKSHOPS WITH TUBUP (the Utterly Butterly Ukulele Project): subsidised cost £400 (50% subsidy from Wave)
22 and 23 November 2016
In your school, large space and breakout space needed
Ideally year 3+ (though can consider Y2 if there are plenty of adult helpers)
Covers ideally 60 children / 2 classes (can be up to 3 classes if there are plenty of adult helpers)
Everyone builds a ukulele from a margarine carton and fishing line, decorates it (could be Xmas themed) and can take it home – all materials provided apart from materials for decoration. They also learn some very basic, 2 chord songs
TUBUP can also do a short assembly slot at the start of the day plus a concert involving all ukulele makers for parents at the end of the day (if desired by the school)
Wave will invoice schools following the workshop
Very popular in the past, these are a fantastic way to kick start an interest in music which could progress onto real” ukuleles or something else musical. However, the TUBUP ukuleles do sound surprisingly authentic!
