😃 There’s just something about playing the ukulele that brings a smile to our faces! 🤟🏽

🤙🏽 During our recent beginner series at Kenly Park our students learned about the popularity of the ukulele in Hawaii 🌸, including the historic rendition of Israel Kakawiwo’ole’s “Somewhere of the Rainbow 🌈” Plus, along the way, we learned multiple chords shapes and how to sing and play over 5 songs! 👏🏽
