Performance / All Levels :
Taimane will be teaching more techniques.
Also, she will discuss the performance side of playing music and will show examples thru performing. Then it is the student's turn to get up and perform a song if they wish to. Players from beginner to advanced can get up and share a little song where Taimane and the class will enjoy and give constructive feedback. This class is the most popular class so far!

TAIMANE BIO:
At the age of five, Taimane picked up her first ukulele and began her future in performing. Playing on the streets of Waikiki with the beach boys, Taimane was discovered by legendary crooner, Don Ho and became a featured performer in his show. From there, her popularity grew and Taimane has performed around the world. She has played privately for John Travolta, Steven Seagal, George Clooney, and has opened for Earth Wind and Fire, Chicago, Jimmy Buffett, Chris Isaak, and many more.
Whether delicately finger-picking through Bach or radically ripping through Led Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres- form Classical to Rock to flamenco- and to stretch her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies of Hawai'i, where she grew up. Her fingers fly and her body dances in a whirlwind of skill and sensuality..leaving audiences gaping with amazement! Listeners will be riveted by the artistry of her technique and the tapestry of her styling. They will come to understand why Taimane is lighting up the industry.
