Why we love this

This teacher's manual gives you complete visibility into what students see on every page, eliminating guesswork about pacing and presentation. The partnership between a world-class performer and a university instructor results in pedagogy that feels neither dumbed down nor unnecessarily complex, which is rare at the middle school level.

What to expect

The book maintains a conversational, encouraging tone that respects student intelligence while celebrating small wins. There's an authenticity to the material that comes from instructors who genuinely enjoy teaching beginners and believe the ukulele is a gateway to understanding music.

Who it's for

This guide is built for teachers implementing group ukulele instruction in school settings, whether you have formal ukulele training or are entering the instrument fresh. It works equally well for private lesson teachers managing multiple students at the same level.

How to get the most out of it

Reference the free MP3 files at UkuleleAtSchool.com while teaching each section. Hearing the material played correctly accelerates student absorption and establishes accurate tone production from day one.
Use the full-size student page reproductions to point out specific notation details during instruction, keeping everyone focused on the same example without passing books around.
Check the available lesson plans at UkuleleAtSchool.com before your first week. They're structured to match the book's progression and save significant planning time.

How to use it

Deploy this for a full unit or year-long ensemble elective that serves students looking for an alternative to traditional band or orchestra. The intermediate level targets students with some musical literacy, making it a natural fit for middle schoolers or high schoolers picking up the instrument as a second instrument.
