As we're heading back into the school year, I'm looking at what we're going to play in the uke club I help with at my kids grade school, and I'd like some suggestions.
We are a Christian school, and have done both sacred and secular music. The students range from 3rd to 8th grade and have a wide range of musical talent.
Last year we played "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" and the Ukulele Underground version of "Stand by Me". For Stand by Me, we also had a student uke-bass player, one of our students doing the uke solo and a student violinist taking a solo as well.
I'm looking to identify a couple of uke-friendly sacred songs, one sacred and one secular christmas song, and for our spring concert I'd like to do something fun and kind of classic for uke.
What should I be looking at both in songs and arrangements?
