This resource features ukulele and xylophone parts to create a rich instrumental accompaniment, giving students the opportunity to explore Hawaiian language and culture through music. With accessible arrangements and engaging parts, it’s a wonderful way to introduce students to world music, cultural appreciation, and ensemble playing. (Click for Link to TPT)
