At Pepin Academies in New Port Richey, music class is more than just rhythm and repetition, it’s a place for creativity, confidence, and curiosity. Recently, Ms. Knarvik, one of our PAWsome pilot teachers, used Scholar Education to bring a little AI harmony into her 3rd grade ukulele lesson.
With the help of BruceBot, students practiced chords, played along to a classic tune, and even sparked an unexpected conversation about how to care for their instruments.
Lesson Planning in Tune with Student Needs
To prepare her ukulele lesson, Ms. Knarvik turned to BruceBot, Scholar’s AI-powered teacher assistant. She asked for a lesson plan that would help her 3rd graders review the chords they had been learning and also make it fun. BruceBot delivered a simple and engaging structure that included chord practice and a suggested song: “You Are My Sunshine.”
Next, she asked BruceBot to generate a custom chord and song sheet her students could follow along with in class. With the lesson and materials ready in minutes, all she had to do was tune up and teach!
Music, Questions, and a Touch of AI-Fueled Fun
During the lesson, students followed the chord sheet and played together with guidance from Ms. Knarvik. They also had the chance to ask BruceBot questions as a whole group about the ukulele and that’s when the creativity kicked in.
One student asked a funny and imaginative question about ukuleles, and BruceBot’s thoughtful (and student-friendly) response led to an impromptu discussion about the parts of a ukulele and how to take care of musical instruments. It was a perfect example of how AI can turn spontaneous moments into teachable ones.
