To understand the greatness of this little instrument and the impact it's having on the world you must view the documentary "The Mighty Uke". It's a great inspiration and will make you want to pick it up and start strumming yourself. Below are the links for the Mighty Uke trailer and the Mighty Uke Sneak Preview.

Some of my favorite perfomers:
Jake Shimabukuro, has become not just my favorite but a favorite of my students as well. We just call him Jake.

James Hill - he's from Canada, so we call him family. We started watching video clips of famous ukulele performers while we were handing out Ukuleles to students. One of my favorite moments all time, was when we were beginning to watch the Mighty Uke documentary and a first grader excitedly exclaimed "Hey, that's James Hill!". Yep, they really are listening.
