Three cheers for the English Martyrs school in Litherland, Liverpool which now has its own Ukulele Orchestra. I understand Year 4 will be learning a new chord very soon. (I have no information on who the mysterious 'Mr Dinsdale', credited with these videos, might be.)
The ukulele can only bring happiness wherever and whenever it appears. Teaching children how to play will undoubtedly make the world a better place, leading to peace and prosperity for all. The ukulele will facilitate a proactive recontextualization of the in-school experience to drive a tringulation of real-world objectives - Life, the Universe and Everything - thereby achieving a convergence of meta-cognitive functionalities and competencies unleashing synergistic child-centred real-time development. This is the way forward and I urge all educationalists to brush aside their obsessions with SATS, league tables, curricula, and assessment-driven pedagoguish paradigms and to envision one simple, holistic outcome-based mission statement: To Play the Ukulele!
