The ukulele is a fantastic instrument to learn at this age. It’s a great introduction to the guitar and far more assessable due to its smaller size, lighter frame and gentler strings. The ukulele is such a joy to play. Most popular music can be adapted to be played on the ukulele and your child will love being able to learn chords to songs that they know and can sing along to. You will need to provide your own ukulele for this club and these can be sourced at a very reasonable cost.
