"First up, thanks for another killer lesson. I always look forward to Honolulu, because I know I'm going to be learning new things, and taking one step further down the road. These past couple of months have been most productive....can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings."

THE ARTS, a basic form of human communication, provide an outlet for creativity and serve as a source of aesthetic satisfaction. Through the arts, students can explore, express and understand thoughts, emotions and feelings.

They provide a means for the enrichment of life through self-expression and response to the expression of others. However one participates in the arts, they are a source of great enjoyment, contributing significantly to the quality of life.

We teach from school-aged children to adults of all ages.

COURSES
Steel Guitar	There is nothing like the sweet “nahenahe” sounds of the steel guitar. Distinguished, as the only stringed instrument invented in Hawai‘i there is no other instrument like this. Great for solo play and background licks. Get the proper bar and picking technique and then take off on your musical journey.
‘Ukulele	After you've learned and played some three-chord songs, where do you go from here? Are you stuck at this level and cannot progress any further? Do you have a desire to learn more and to further your music education for your own enrichment? Ke Kula Mele will open up the world of music to you.
Guitar	The Internet has a great deal of free information for the guitar. However, for the most part, the beginner can't fully benefit from this free information because questions come up that the lesson doesn’t answer. This can be a spirit dampener. At Ke Kula Mele discover the joy of playing the guitar.
"Hawaiian Style" Upright Bass	Have you always been intrigued by the upright bass?  Would you like a chance to play it for yourself? It looks so cool, but it must be a difficult instrument to learn. Not really! After a few lessons you’ll be on the way to jamming on your bass with your friends.
HUI MELE HAWAI‘I	This class is offered through invitation only to those who are at an advanced playing or singing level and have the yearning and motivation to be in a music ensemble that is geared for performance. Our repertoire is from Hawai‘i’s rich music collection and you'll learn each song's background and understand why we sing it the way we do. Learn to "ensemble-ize" while absorbing Hawai‘i's fascinating culture. If you would like to join Hui Mele Hawai‘i, but first want to gain more skills and confidence we highly recommend taking our class or private lessons and we will help you to get to the next level.
P K Parent & Keiki Class	Ever wanted to bond more with your child but could not think of what to do? As a family in our class you and your keiki will have the opportunity to play musically every week. For a bonding experience our Parent & Keiki (PK) class is perfect for parents who want to share that special time together in his/her childʻs formative years. Both parent and keiki can learn together and then continue the activity at home or anywhere.
‘Ukulele Tea Time	Set in a casual environment this ‘ukulele class is geared for the individual that would like to meet others who have the same interest in making music. This group meets from 1 to 2 pm on Fridays for lessons as well as tea, talk story, and goodies that anyone brings to share.
