Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I have had the pleasure of teaching ukulele through an elementary school club, where I introduced young students to the joy of playing music. Growing up in Hawaii, the ukulele was an integral part of my life, and I was immersed in its rich musical culture from a young age. This background has not only provided me with a deep appreciation for the instrument but also a strong foundation in its techniques and traditions. Outside of teaching, I continue to play the ukulele as a hobby, finding it a delightful way to unwind and express creativity.Reviews
