This school were excited to use ukuleles to engage with this piece...
"The year 5's of Charles Kingsley School were learning how to play the ukulele, which had been a wish of ours for a number of years, since seeing other children learn it before. After we had mastered the basics, including the rest position and a few basic songs, we decided to set ourselves a challenge of learning one of the BBC Ten Pieces. The piece we chose was 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' by Greig. To carry out our challenge, we had to learn how to read tab, which is notes only with numbers on the frets along the ukulele. Soon afterwards, we were given the music, and instantly started learning, helping each other along the way. Through ups and downs, we finished the piece and played it fluently with the backing track to our parents and the whole school."
