As a Ukulele Instructor, I started the Laguna  Beach Ukulele Academy. You may have seen our Ukulele Marching Band in the Patriots Day Parade, or leading Santa’s Hospitality Night Carols at the Tree Lighting Ceremony. I play ukulele in the “The South Laguna Garden Band,” “Seaview  Serenaders,” “Mana & Garden Band Duo,” and anyone else who will let me strum along.
