how it works?
Make
You get to make your own TUB-Ukulele, from a spread tub and a piece of wood, and fishing line for strings. (We provide all the materials)
Decorate and Learn to Play
You'll be amazed and amused, as once you've customised and decorated your fully functional, tunable and playable TUB-Ukulele, you'll learn how to play some songs.
Perform
You'll become a TUB-Uke Rock Star, performing with The Utterly Butterly Band to an audience of invited guests to finish the day.
Curriculum Support
arts/music/science and sound/performance
KS 2,3,4 SEN
Age Groups
The project works best with Year 3 upwards, although we can work with younger. Tying knots on strings is difficult for little fingers, so any support staff available on the day are most welcome!
Number of Participants
In a school day, we can work with up to 90 participants (depending on the ages/abilities of the children). We can work with clusters of schools, who all come together for a massed TUB-Uke performance. We’re happy to negotiate for block bookings.
