MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Mele ‘Ohana is to create a fun, relaxing forum for those who wish to play, sing, and dance traditional, contemporary, or Hawai’ian-inspired music, while perpetuating the culture of Hawai’i through song, dance, education, and fellowship; with plenty of Aloha.

The News page will feature items of interest for the group, announcements, etc. (I will still continue to send blast emails for other group related biz).

The Calendar will feature announcements for local, statewide, regional, and national events, workshops, concerts, kanikapilas, and links to other calendars and websites.

The Song List page will contain songs you may download for the upcoming kanikapila.

The Gallery will feature photos of Mele 'Ohana members spreading Aloha.

The Lessons page will provide information and links dealing with various resources for learning more about Hawai'ian style uke/slack key playing and hula.

The Cool Links page will have places on the Internet or other sources for music, books, videos, instruction materials, buying/selling instruments, events, etc.

The Glossary will feature music terms/pronunciation (Hawaiian, pidgin), to help novice, as well as experienced players, learn more about the language and what’s behind the music they are playing.

Mahalo nui loa to Mele Ukulele for their generous support of our Ukes for Kids program.
