Roy Sakuma, Hawaii's premiere ukulele teacher and proponent of the ukulele,
will present "The Art of the Ukulele" at Kaimuki Public Library on Sunday, August 15 at 2 p.m. The free program will be conducted in the Adult Reading Section.

At Kaimuki Library on Sunday, August 15th at 2PM:

Roy Sakuma is recognized as Hawaii’s foremost ukulele teacher and proponent of the instrument.

For over 30 years Roy has been a ukulele teacher, producer, promoter and inspiration to thousands of students and the island community of Hawaii.

In the 1960’s, as America’s youth latched onto the larger, louder, more swaggering guitar, the little instrument from Hawaii was relegated to the attic. Roy knew the instrument’s true worth. And so for over the past 30 years, with his wife Kathy, and their staff of instructors and supporters, his mission has been to spread the joy of the ukulele teaching students and promoting the annual Ukulele Festival, the largest ukulele festival of its kind in the world.

The ukulele has come a long way. It’s cool to play the ukulele. Youngsters jam at school between classes, at the park and the mall. The ukulele embraces everyone who hears it.

As Roy Sakuma understood decades ago, that’s the irresistible charm of the ukulele.
