Ukulele Hale is a place that enriches the lives of students of all ages and skill levels through a fun, positive, personal and home-like environment. Students will be introduced to music theory, chords, notes, strumming and picking techniques, rhythm, improvisation, performance skills and the chance to grow into positive, happy and confident individuals...
The reason why we chose Ukulele Hale as our name is to reflect the spirit of our studio. Ukulele is a Hawaiian word that translates to “jumping flea” (that doesn’t mean we actually have fleas jumping around in the studio…) Hale is also a Hawaiian word that mean’s “house” (although we’re in a building, we like to have the same comfort and relaxation you would find at home.) Here you would experience the enjoyment and fun of learning the ukulele in a personable, positive and creative environment from instructors who are passionate about both the ukulele as well the student. Ukulele Hale would like to welcome you into our ohana. Let’s have fun and play the ukulele!!!
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Please check out our new comedic “vampire bankers” music video. The guy who directed this also directed Madonna’s first music vid. We think it’s pretty funny. It’s available as a free mp3 download on http://www.ukejackson.com
Thanks for being our friend! Uke Jackson and the NY Ukulele Ensemble
