Mark T wain made hi1 fin I vir;it lo i-f;,w•ii in 1864, and remained here
for some lime. He made a tl,orou"h tour o r all the Islands; and he 11aid : -

..No alien land in nll the world hna nny deep, strong chann for rne
b ot, thut one; no other land could tio longingly and b e.s eeching ly haun t
me 11leeping and wukinl{, throu(rSh hnlf n life- time, as this one hna dona.

the !lame, For me its bahny ftirt a.re &.lway• blowi.n2, its summer seas
flashing in the sun: the pul1ina o l its 1urf·beat it in my c.u; l c:an see
its garlanded c-rag9, it• plumy palm.s drowsing hy the shore; its remote
summits Boating like i•land1 abov: the cloud ra.ck; I c;in feel the ~pi.rit

T H E UKULELE AND HAWAIIAN

MUSI C.
The Ukulele is to.day the national in1trument of the Hawaiian pcop1e,
;:i.nd the ~en.ainc otrlicle obviously come• only from the Ha~ii.an l1landa1.
The Koo. wood, rr-o nl which the in1trument mutt be made to produce tho
proper tone. bnd to be genuine, grow• only in the Hawaiian 111.ind!I.
The popularity of the. in1trurnent i.s 110 g rc.-t tlint thousand' i\re 11hip'ped
to d ifferent p1ute of the world. Ourins the Fair at San Franci11c,o in 19 15,
the Ukulele •nd Hawai.ian Mu.sic wafl one of the nlost interesting featurc.1 of
the aca.1on.

The chtrmina in&tN.ment i:s one that it dearly loved by evt:ry Hawaiian.
In their •wc; I nu::loclico the Ukulele plii)'• •n irnpnrr.-nl part and it u.tecf
mo9tly aa an accompaniment.

CARE OF T HE UKULELE.
Do not tune Ukulele higher than concert p itch pi;;tno: tuning hi1her will
cause the bridge to come off. 'The eorutruction of the instrument near the
lower bridae i• very light and is the aound bo&rd of the Ulruldc.

It i• a sood habit to loosen the •trinrc• when not playing.

Crent cure mUlll be taken to alWl\)'# put the Ukulele batk in the c.i.,• ci

when n ot in u1e.

Alway1 te-e that atrings. arc in aood 1htt1,e; if they are too o ld or wor"
out, it will c.111u1e a false tone.

Do not put metal det.0rfl.tiont on the body of the instrument. The tOJ>
pllrt of finatr board between the keya may be used for the purpose.

=-
r
Correct Position of Holding.
Rc~t the neck of the Ukulele between thu1nb a nJ fi rst llna~ r ~r left
hand. Let the body of 1he ini tnunent rc:$t <"g<1int1t the body. with righl
fore-arm pre!!sing the ha.ck edge hold in(! it in po5.ition. The c:orrecl P 01S"ition· '
of holding the Ukulele hail been neilected by man)' pcrformen.

Playing the Ukulele.

"ro play the Ukulele correctly in the Hawaiian sty le, it should be ge ntly
.strummed ucroll$ the strin$tti with the b1fek of the naibs of your fingers in
11uch a nuu"lr>er 1:\$ to hring: out the tone clearly a nd di3Linctly. Tbi.s inst-ru·
me nt Ci\O be played either sitting, standing or walking.

,.
 THE UKULELE AS A SOLO INSTRUMENT.

Solo \\'Ork on the Ukulele could be obtninecl with a little c lc1'ncnt11ry

!\Judy of the flngc.r board. Every note in n\uaie will be found.

Thi. i.s pr;u:;tieally ;a new departure study o( the Ukulele, bu t I would

recommend chord work for pll:'ying accompaniment whiJc lSingin1r. You ~·ill
6nd the chord playing to be tnore pleasi1\g nn<l n1uch more elfectivc than
solo work.

Howcvc.r, the fo1lowing '"·ill be found sufficient to cover all necessary

requiremcntec for this study.

A 1imple method hat been luranged for thi1 ttyle of playing the Ukulele.
