00:00A music teacher has donated 40 ukuleles to Pentland Primary School in Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees, giving pupils more opportunities
00:09to practice.
00:10Children previously had to share instruments with other schools, limiting time for lessons and personal learning.
00:17Independent tutor Jamie Donnelly said music was important to his own development, and he wanted to help pupils explore creativity
00:25and well-being.
00:26School music lead Fern Gannaway said the gift allowed students to play whenever they wished, and praised the act of
00:33generosity.
00:34Pupils described feeling happy, calm and excited to learn chords.
00:39Donnelly hopes the ukuleles will remove barriers and support children's growth in music.
