Reviews for Uke Can Do It!: Developing Your School Ukulele Program

Philip Tamberino has made a remarkable impact on music education and music-making across the country. This success stems from the ukulele's accessibility, and I've witnessed firsthand how the ukulele can foster a lifelong love for making and appreciating music. This excitement around music-making is a testament to the power of this small, yet mighty, instrument--and to the enduring influence of Tamberino's work. --Izzet Mergen, Director of Fine and Performing Arts, Northport-East Northport Schools
