If we have time, we’ll sing a few of the songs! The goal of this workshop is to have fun. If there are more advanced students who feel this is too easy, I will make sure you are not bored. There is always more to learn. A huge part of the Hawaiian music culture is learning how to have all levels play together. The beginners with the masters. We are not playing music to be better than anyone we are playing because it is fun and brings us all together. If you don’t meet all the requirements now, think of them as a goal to work towards so you can learn the sweet, sweet sounds of Hawaii!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSkills Needed:\u003c\/b\u003e Be able to play in the key of C (know your C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, and G7 chords).
