A Ukulele Challenge
This week's uke challenge is "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." If you are a fifth grader, this will be a great review of C, F, and G chords and a fun play along for you. If you are a fourth or third grader with a ukulele at home, this is a great song to begin some chords that are used often when we study uke!
