ABOUT


OUR VISION AND MISSION
1. Our Vision
Enjoying playing and singing ukulele music from a wide variety of genres, enhanced by hula dancing, to its fullest. Providing a learning, supportive environment which encourages all members, regardless of ability, to participate in all activities to improve their skills, including leading the group in song. Ensuring that Kanikapila is a fun activity which is eagerly anticipated by all members.
2. Our Mission
To serve and support members by providing activities and tools to enable them to enjoy and improve their abilities to play the ukulele, sing, lead the group in song and dance the hula. To initiate and sponsor activities which perpetuate the history, traditions, memories and growth of the ukulele, bind members together, and increase community awareness of ukulele music.
Song Library
Our song library uses large fonts for maximum readability on iPads and a large-screen TV. We usually repeat choruses to minimize page turning. Our library is available by clicking on the green Dropbox button.
The procedure for updating your iPad can be found by clicking the blue button.
