Ukulele, Porters Lake Area


The Halifax Regional Arts (East) ukulele program meets weekly at O’Connell Drive Elementary School located in West Porter’s Lake.  The  after school program runs from 1:55 to 2:40 for Grades 5 and 6 students. This program is open to all HRCE students.   There are also Wednesday evening classes  for grades 7-12 from 6:30pm to 7:15pm or 7:15pm - 8:00pm.   Classes are open to all students who want to participate.  Students do not require previous musical knowledge.  The instructor designed the program to teach each student at a pace and level that is appropriate for them.  The program focuses on teaching foundational knowledge to become proficient on the ukulele. The curriculum consists of musical repertoire that is appealing for the students to engage with.  This program can accommodate students of all musical levels.  There is no registration fee and ukuleles are available to use for a small rental deposit of $30 that is refunded in June upon the return of the instrument.
