I am interested in visiting a music classroom on Big Island in late Jan or early Feb...probably either around Hilo around Feb. 2nd, or Waimea area on Feb. 3 or 4.
Would love to observe public elementary or middle schools with uke classes--and vocal or other strings activity.
I could take my Colorado teacher's certificate and introduce myself; but an inside track or introduction might be mo' betta.
Trip starts in a week, so RSVP if you have ideas!

Also, is the University a place I could talk to someone about requirements for transferring a Colorado teaching certificate, and taking special classes for certification as a music teacher in Hawaii? Just preliminary research at this point...but thinking bout possibilities!

There are a few public schools that do `ukulele classes.
One of them is Waiakea Intermediate School, which has a whole `ukulele band.
Also, for the University, they do had a music program, but I'm not sure if there's any `ukulele, however, I think there's classical guitar.
Their website is www.uhh.hawaii.edu
Maybe we can meet up and have a jam session.
I'll be on Oahu on Jan. 27th and won't return until around noon on the 30th. Are you in Hilo during that time? |

Thanks,
We'll I've seen swarms of kids with ukes in Waimea area when school let out one day...
and got a great serenade/jam from a brave kid who played at our request...
(Also serenades from clerks and coffee farm guides--we loved it!)
We'll be in da southern part of island Jan. 31-Feb.2nd.
But are somewhere on Big Island from Jan 25 till Feb 7th.
Let us know if you're available for some songs.
Probably will only carry a back-packer guitar and maybe a fiddle this time...
Also, I'm between ukes right now...must go scouting for tenor koas!
Any suggestions out there for prospecting ukes on Big Isle?
Mahalo,
Gordo |
