Even though I have published two books on guitar improvisation and taught ensemble workshops for several years, I enjoy teaching great habits and beginning technique to young players. And by ‘young players’ I mean both children as well as beginning adults.

“… Hans is a great instructor. He’s very patient, keeps the lesson fun, and caters his instruction around personal music preferences. I’m a beginner in my late 30s and still have hope that I can learn an instrument! I highly recommend Hans!”

“… Hans is a patient and knowledgeable teacher. After only a few lessons I understood a few flaws in my playing. Furthermore I was also given tools which would increase my technical ability as well as my music theory knowledge. If you’re looking to better understand the guitar Hans is the man.”

“… Great teacher and amazing player, from jazz to rock. I also highly recommend his jazz instruction book "bebop improv concepts", works for beginning jazz players and pros as well! I'm proud that you were my teacher Hans, thanks for so much!”

Roy Sakuma Ukulele Studios is Hawaii’s foremost ukulele school with four locations on Oahu. Since 1974, the Roy Sakuma Method of teaching has brought the joy of music to thousands of children and adults of all ages. Roy Sakuma is recognized as Hawaii’s authority on ukulele instruction and proponent of the ukulele.


In the 1960′s, as America’s youth latched onto the larger, louder, more swaggering guitar, the little instrument from Hawaii was relegated to the attic. Roy knew the instrument’s true worth. And so for over the past 30 years, with his wife Kathy, and their staff of instructors and supporters, his mission has been to spread the joy of the ukulele teaching students and promoting the annual Ukulele Festival, the largest ukulele festival of its kind in the world.
