Third-grade students sing
as they strum ukuleles in
Mary Ann Vidourek’s music
class at Humbolt Elementary.
Vidourek, at right, teaches
how to play the chords and
handle the instruments
properly. She said she
learned to play ukulele while
on a 2011 trip with her Grant
Union choir to Honolulu,
Hawaii, where the group
sang at the 70th anniversary
commemoration of the Pearl
Harbor attack. She soon
after brought ukuleles to her
Humbolt music classes.
