Ukulele Hale

About Me

Welcome to Ukulele Hale!!!

Ukulele Hale is a place that enriches the lives of students of all ages and skill levels through a fun, positive, personal and home-like environment. Students will be introduced to music theory, chords, notes, strumming and picking techniques, rhythm, improvisation, performance skills and the chance to grow into positive, happy and confident individuals...

The reason why we chose Ukulele Hale as our name is to reflect the spirit of our studio. Ukulele is a Hawaiian word that translates to “jumping flea” (that doesn’t mean we actually have fleas jumping around in the studio…) Hale is also a Hawaiian word that mean’s “house” (although we’re in a building, we like to have the same comfort and relaxation you would find at home.) Here you would experience the enjoyment and fun of learning the ukulele in a personable, positive and creative environment from instructors who are passionate about both the ukulele as well the student. Ukulele Hale would like to welcome you into our ohana. Let’s have fun and play the ukulele!!!
