The Purchase
This past year my teaching partner and I asked our music boosters for money to
purchase 15 Diamond Head Ukuleles off of Amazon for around $30 a piece. We knew
they were completely entry level going into our purchase. Eventually we will probably
get a more suitable entry level instrument but for the price we were able to start a
program in our general music classes.
