Arrive tuned-ready
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to pick an instrument and tune up; instructors will help but early arrival keeps class on time.
Bring a water bottle
Humidity and quick talking can dry you out; carry water to stay focused through the hour-long session.
Try your own ukulele
Ukuleles are provided, but bringing your familiar instrument helps with comfort and quicker progress.
Wear breathable clothing
Light, comfortable clothes make it easier to sit and move your arms during strumming; trade-wind weather can still be humid.
Ukulele (optional)
Bringing your own instrument helps with familiarity and tuning, though ukuleles are provided.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated in Maui’s humidity keeps your focus during the lesson.
Notebook and pen
Jot chord shapes, strumming patterns and tips to practice after class.
