    So exciting to find we can now learn Hawaiian ukulele! This first lesson is clearly put together and easy to understand but a refreshing new area to explore. Look forward to the rest of this section unfolding. Thanks to the guys.

    You guys are the bomb! Great lesson Aldrine! Here in Reno we have a number of Hawaiians that have helped me with this. I really like your concise explanation of the alphabet and correct way of saying ‘Ukulele….

    I have been following Aldrine since I bought my Uke’s in Hawaii last year August. I am glad I signed up for University this is so exciting and I learn so much. Thank you for having a place to learn Hawaiian Uke and All the other sessions.
    Maybe when I go to my family reunion in Big Island I will have learned a song or two to play during our jam session.
