ukulelia

An elementary schoolteacher "swears ukuleles are key to improving student achievement."

For 15 consecutive years, she says she has witnessed an unmistakable connection between her second-graders' ability to master the instrument and their ability to master their schoolwork. "When I start doing my ukulele unit in January, my [students'] math and reading scores start jumping up -- every doggone time," she said. "It's like clockwork. That's why I know it works."
