What is the DUCK Club?
On Tuesday 28 July, a new lunchtime music
program was launched for students in Years
3 and 4, where they have the opportunity
to try something new and learn to play an
instrument, all while having fun with music.
The Dominic Ukulele Cool Kids (DUCK) Club is led by a team comprising of Miss Frances White and Mrs Jane Kilpatrick, and after only two sessions together the DUCKs have mastered the C chord and
can confidently sing 鈥淜ookaburra Sits in The Old Gum Tree鈥
while accompanying themselves on their ukulele at the same
time!
Here鈥檚 what some of our DUCKs have said about being
in the club so far...
I like that you can play different
chords and music with the
ukulele. Joseph Gillie
It鈥檚 fun, and it makes learning
the guitar easier. Marina Cook
I really like the way the teachers
teach it and also the way it
sounds! Briana Shaji
I鈥檝e had a ukulele at home for
years but I didn鈥檛 know how to
play, so I thought this was a
good chance to try it. Bradley
Roberts
Ukulele is awesome! I just can鈥檛
stop practising and I hope I get
really good at it. Elliot Skinner

New DUCKs are more than welcome to join our musical flock and need not have any ukulele experience, nor any instrumental
abilities beyond their weekly classroom Music lessons at school.
