Being the third generation born and raised on the island of Kauai, my musical upbringing includes a mix of my Japanese heritage and Hawaiian culture. This workshop will explore the varied styles of Hawaiian musical traditions including cultural context, and will examine the idea of “What is traditional Hawaiian music?” Material for all ages will be presented, along with Kodály-inspired pedagogical connections, ukulele arrangements, and movement activities. Repertoire will include different styles of Hawaiian music, as well as a taste of music representative of other prominent cultures in Hawaii. You are encouraged to bring an ukulele (or guitar) to play along!
CDE Clock Hours* are available at all workshops for no extra cost!
Graduate Credit* is available through Adams State University for participating in all three workshops.
*See the Clock Hours & Credit FAQ page for more information.
