 Workshop 
 opportunity to learn 
 South Pacific island styles of ukulele music 
 from master ukulele artist Carole Lanialoha 
 Lee-Sumberg who will be performing at the 2013 
 Great Lakes Folk Festival. This workshop learning 
 is coordinated by the Michigan \n
 Traditional 
 Arts Program/Michigan State University 
 Museum in collaboration with the MSU Community 
 Music School.\n
 \n
 A fun, challenging workshop 
 in which Lanialoha aims to "empower you to 
 embrace hands-on ukulele exercises that establish 
 a good foundation of basics and provide 
 techniques for a variety of strumming styles." 
 \n
 \n
 Her workshop showcases the powerful strums 
 characteristic of South Pacific island cultures, 
 includes clever mnemonic devices \n
 for 
 remembering various strum names, and is infused 
 with culturally enriching stories of kūpuna 
 (elders) and their aloha for traditional 
 music. She also introduces new Hawaiian 
 music of younger generations and, in doing so, 
 hopes to strengthen bridges between the Midwest 
 and Hawai`i.\n
 \n
 Hand outs and supplemental 
 materials will be provided.\n\n
