Kathy & Super Keiki, 1981 Teens Learning to Play the Ukulele Adult Class

As a young protege of the ukulele master Herb “Ohta-San” Ohta, Roy Sakuma quickly proved himself as a stellar student. When Ohta-San encouraged his disciple to venture out on his own, Roy didn’t follow in Ohta-San’s footsteps as a performing artist. Instead, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to teaching. Since 1974, the Roy Sakuma Method of Ukulele Instruction, has brought the joy of music to thousands of students. It begins with the understanding that many people find learning an instrument intimidating, especially if they can’t read music. With Roy’s unique method, students instantly feel accomplished by playing first, getting sound and satisfaction immediately. The system is fast and most of all, fun. Roy and his wife Kathy have expanded the Roy Sakuma Ukulele Studios to four locations in Hawaii with a staff of 30 instructors, all of whom are former students.
