@melaniedoane was honoured this week to join her dad, J Chalmers Doane, for a discussion about the unique advantages of #ukulele as a tool for music education and to share some memories of her own music education in Halifax, NS.

#musiceducation @tdsb @HRCE_NS @NAMMFoundation

[Doane Music School @DoaneUschool]

The Doane Ukulele Method, which Chalmers introduced 50 years ago in the Halifax school system, enriched the lives of a generation of kids and became a model for ukulele programs across Canada and in Hawaii – and is still thriving now with Uschool!
