We believe that students, no matter their location or circumstances, deserve access to a high-quality musiceducation during the school day. We connect educators, technology and artists so all students, everywhere, can benefit from culturally-relevantmusic learning. We build school-based interdisciplinary and culturally relevant music programs that are scalable and sustainable. Our goal is to engage a largenumber of students, providing a way for them to learn both in the classroom and on their own anytime. Our approach centers on kumu(educators) and equips them with technology, tools, and training to amplify their impact. Together, we eliminate barriers to access, so allstudents can experience the social-emotional, motor and cognitive advantages that music provides. Lokahi: The Ukulele Collective empowers teachers to integrate ukulele-based music education into the regular school day across Hawai'i. In 2025, its first full year of operations, Lokahi delivered programming across four core areas:Teacher Professional DevelopmentLokahi launched its first year-long HIDOE professional development program in 2025, enrolling 50 teachers across two cohorts with initial workshops delivered in July and October. Program completion is expected in 2026. In addition, Lokahi delivered a virtual Introduction to Ukulele & Lyric Writing workshop to approximately 90 registered teachers (70 final attendees) in partnership with HIDOE, and facilitated in-person workshop sessions reaching approximately 30 additional teachers at professional conferences.Ho'olokahi Lyrics Writing ChallengeLokahi completed its inaugural Ho'olokahi Lyrics Writing Challenge (SY 202425), a statewide student songwriting program in which students write original lyrics to a shared ukulele melody. Approximately 900 students from 33 schools across four islands O'ahu, Maui, Kaua'i, and Hawai'i Island participated. As a culminating celebration, award-winning Hawai'i artist Paula Fuga visited the winning classroom, bringing the songwriting experience to life for students.Hawaiian Artist Song LibraryLokahi released four collaboratively developed songs for classroom use in 2025. Each lesson is created in close collaboration with the featured artist and includes a behind-the-scenes artist interview and a play-along video with the artist. Three original compositions "Country Road," "Lilikoi, and Just a Little Bit" were written by Paula Fuga under license to Lokahi for educational use. A fourth song, "The Aloha Chant," was developed in collaboration with the Hawaiian Legacy Foundation and Myrna Kamae, with the blessing of the estate of the late Hawaiian musician Eddie Kamae. Lokahi also began development of a Hawaiian Song Toolkit an evolving classroom resource featuring traditional Hawaiian music with chords, lyrics, and play-along videos designed to support teachers in introducing culturally relevant music into their classrooms.Artist Partnerships & Community EngagementLokahi established an artist partnership with Jack Johnson, who created a video message to inspire student songwriters participating in the Ho'olokahi Challenge. This model is now being used as a framework to engage additional artists in supporting student creativity across Hawai'i. Lokahi also hosted the 1st Annual Lokahi Play Along in May 2025, a community celebration bringing together students, teachers, and partners to showcase the year's musical accomplishments.We accomplished all this amazing work, in part, due to the generous donation of approximately 3000 hours of time and additional services by Servco Pacific. 16723 16723 Mark Fukunaga President 1.50 0 Diana Brown VP/Secretary 1.50 0 Mary Keenan VP/Treasurer 20.00 0 Paulette Cavillis Asst.
