Here are a few ukulele videos that you will probably enjoy. The first is Jake Shimabukuro. He is from Honolulu, and is a popular ukulele virtuoso. The second video you will probably recognize. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole became famous with his Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World medley. The last video is two girls from Hawaii, Honoka and Azita playing a song called "Body Surfing" by Carlos Santana. Maybe by the end of the year, the 5th graders will be able to do this...
![]() Thanks to many generous Thurston families, friends, and community members, Thurston now owns 30 Kala KA-15S Soprano Ukuleles. I will begin teaching the 5th graders how to play these instruments. As the year progresses, I hope to introduce these instruments to some of the younger grades as well. I will continue to update this website throughout the year with information, music, and videos. |
