Ukulele, which literally means “jumping flea” in Hawaiian, doesn´t refer to an infestation problem, but rather how fast the hands of an experienced player can move across the strings when playing the instrument. Brought to the islands by the Portuguese, the Hawaiian people quickly adapted it as a part of their culture as they were intriguedby the sound of the small four stringed instrument.The instructors at Ukulele Hale are just as passionate about the ukulele as they are about their students. Each instructor strives to instill in every student positive values that will help them grow into happy and confident individuals.
