Details:
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
Traditional Arts Program/Michigan State University Museum in collaboration with the MSU Community Music School.
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."
Her workshop showcases the powerful strums characteristic of South Pacific island cultures, includes clever mnemonic devices
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.
Hand outs and supplemental materials will be provided. more information...
