Perpetuating Ki ho'alu Kahiko
About Me:
Once upon a time ki ho'alu was so secretive that it almost perished because of it. Today there is so much learning material available but unfortunately there is not enough interest especially with the Hawaii residents to whom ki ho'alu is a part of their heritage.
I love & listen to all genres of music but ki ho'alu is my most beloved. I have recently begun sharing my mana'o ki ho'alu kahiko (Teaching traditional slack key) in hopes of doing my part to perpetuate slack key. If you are interested in learning contact me and I'll do what ever I can to help you along. From tablature to possible one on one lessons. My emphasis will naturally be focused on the people of Hawaii but I'll extend the offer to all you "Hawaiian at hearts" & those who share my passion for ki ho'alu regardless of who you are and where you live on this planet..
Much Aloha
