Aunty Aloha's Ukulele Corner:
Ukulele music - instantly recognizable as being 'island style.'
Learn to play with our free 'loaners' and helpful volunteer teachers. It only has four strings so it's an easy intro for all ages to play music.
Join the Kanakapila (jam session!) If you play, bring your uke (or borrow one of ours) and join in. It's island style, all are welcome.
