Green Crocs Eat Ants??
This simple, unique ukulele pedagogy began after watching "The Mighty Uke" on TV one rainy day, years ago. It was stunning... inspiring... addicting! Who knew a single instrument could create so much joy?
As a Music teacher, I could see the amazing potential for using the ukulele to teach not only chords and strumming patterns, but melody, music theory and performance... and the ideas kept coming! They still continue - every day I teach I'm challenged to make the ukulele a life-long musical companion for my students (whether children or adults), using simple, catchy tunes and memorable cues for learning musical language and techniques.
Here you can find out all about the "Green Crocs Eat Ants" program, and how you might implement it into your Music Classroom!
