Elemental ‘Ukulele Lesson: Lavender’s Blue

March 13, 2020

Lessons, Rhythm & Movement

Are you interested in teaching ‘ukulele while continuing to work on the skills that you’ve been cultivating through Orff Schulwerk and Kodály processes? The new Purposeful Pathways supplement, “Elemental ‘Ukulele”, by Lorelei Batislaong and Roger Sams is designed to support just that kind of learning. You’ll find Kodály literacy processes, Orff Schulwerk ensemble, composition, improvisation and movement activities, along with well-sequenced, thoughtfully organized ‘ukulele instruction. There’s nothing quite like these lessons on the market and we think you’re going to enjoy sharing this new book from MIE Publications with your students in general music.
