After a few days in Jerusalem I was excited to get back to Ukuleles For Peace...and today was definitely a marathon! Three morning classes in Hod Hasharon, and then three in Tira in the afternoon. The last group of the day were all brand new students, getting their hands on a ukulele for the first time ever. Very special. The older kids in the orchestra are getting excited and nervous about the recording as well: we have our first full-orchestra recording session on Friday. Below is an mp3 of the Tira kids practicing "Salaam".
