Education for Music, Guitar and Bass
Join two-time GRAMMY® Nominated Music Educator Mike Overly as he presents his unique insights into the 'Ukulele's history, benefits of its different tunings, theory, technique ~ and much more!

Since its introduction to Hawai'i in 1879, the 'ukulele has been many things: a symbol of an island paradise, a tool of political protest, an instrument central to a rich musical culture, a musical joke, a highly sought-after collectible, a cheap airport souvenir, a lucrative industry, and the product of a remarkable synthesis of global cultures.
This video explores some of the fascinating aspects of how an obscure four-string folk instrument from Portugal rose to its current popularity as a world-wide legitimate musical instrument. Aloha!
