Learn ʻukulele through pure island joy.

Our purpose is to teach music through aloha to cultivate joy, community, and culture. The ʻUkulele Mele Methodology™️ brings songs, story, rhythm, and care together so every learner can feel rooted, welcomed, and ready to play.

Come Strum with Us

A Methodology rooted in Aloha.

Mele didn’t always have educators or music models who were looking out for her best interest. Interestingly enough, they were usually looking out for their own or not involved enough to notice what she needed. Because of this, Mele built her own method over the years. The ʻUkulele Mele Methodology™ is built on the following values.

You can experience it yourself by watching any of her YouTube videos, joining her tiered membership (beginning August 2026), or purchase her book (coming 2027!).
