A Moose with a Uke

Visit the forest, meet Monty the musical moose!

This book was written for the love of music. The love of playing an instrument and the joy of experiencing a live performance.

Learning a musical skill can be enjoyed for a lifetime. We make connections and break down barriers with harmonies and melodies. Knowledge is passed on and we grow with open hearts.

Listen to tracks from the upcoming album A Moose with a Uke!
