“I was at the concert on Sunday at Pearlridge Mall and was extremely impressed by the number of students Roy has instructed. It is absolutely wonderful to see so many young people play a Portuguese instrument, so popular in Hawaii, and have such passion for what they learn. I also thought the young man who was featured (played with his elbow) was quite extraordinary! He should be on Oprah or something….he deserves national attention for his skill. Great job!!”

Mahalo to all the participants and congratulations to the ukulele winners!
