Workshops
ALOHA! Victoria Vox and Ukulenny are two amazing ukulele performers and teachers. Both hailing from California, they will charm you with their unique styles of musicianship.

Handouts will be shared with attendees via email and/or via download on the webpage. Please print any handouts that you want to use or bring your own iPads/tablets/computers to view them.
