FOR BEGINNERS & OTHERS in NEED OF UKES
We encourage you to shop at your local music store for a uke. Let the manager know you are a school employee to see if they can offer you an educator discount. Got a great local store, please support them with your business and let us know!
If you are shopping online and want to find a reliable and excellent selection of ukuleles that are in stock and ready to ship, please visit UkeLikeThePros.com. For the sake of quality, reliability and service, when purchasing an instrument online, buying from Uke Like The Pros will safer than buying an unknown brand on a large online marketplace. If you call them, make sure to say you are with GITC.
We recommend Tanglewood, Cordoba, Kala, Enya, Flight and Ohana ukuleles,

ABOUT GITC COURSES:
Guitars and Ukes in the Classroom (GITC) programs encompass much more than an instrumental approach to beginning guitar and ukulele.
GITC "SmartStart" Open Tuning approach is available through the book SmartStart Guitar, for sale to the general public from Hal Leonard Publishing. The book Smartstart Ukulele is available from Korg/Soundtree.
However, only certificated GITC faculty members teach music integration that includes employing music making and song-based learning to enrich and deepen literacy and math learning, social-emotional growth, cross-curricular connections, and more. If you are looking for an official GITC program, it will be listed on this website or it will be known to us. It must be taught by one of our trained and certified faculty members. Anyone else saying that they are teaching Guitars and Ukes in the Classroom may be using some version of our instrumental approach to teach music in some way. They are not providing endorsed or official GITC training.
If you want to check on someone's standing with our organization or alert us to possible copycat programs, we ask that you please REACH OUT HERE. Thanks so much for the help keeping our charitable work safe and ensuring the quality of GITC instruction!
