What we do  The New Zealand Ukulele Trust wants to make sure music is a part of every child's education.  We support schools to teach children how to play, sing and perform with confidence.

Why the ukulele? It is portable, cheap, easy to learn, easy to teach and encourages singing!  The ukulele great for song writing and kids love it. It is the perfect gateway instrument too. 

 

The songs  we use find their way into classrooms, playgrounds, assemblies, cars, buses, camps, and homes around the country so we choose them carefully.  The songs become part of children's lives forever. We consult with experts in music education and the music industry to help to help us prepare the highest quality resources that are relatable and relevant to kiwi kids.  

 

Why we do it  Making music delivers a range of tangible benefits that endure for a lifetime. Research tells us again and again. But above all, music brings us together, inspires, develops tolerance and empathy, tells our stories, expresses our  identity, feelings and humanity. Music helps grow great kids, strong communities and brings happiness that should be part of every child's day.

 

How we do it  Our activities rely on securing donations, contestable grants, hundreds of hours of volunteer time, drive, passion and goodwill from many incredible people who share our vision.
