Public Ukuleles

All the Public Ukuleles have been delivered!

The first Public Ukulele was installed at Aspen Coffee at Fountain Square. They are very supportive of local music and we host our open mics there. The next installation of the Public Ukulele movement was at the Stillwater Public Library. They now have a "Take it, Play it" program where you may check out a ukulele kit and learn to play at home (and join us at the Stillwater Ukulele Association meetings!).  See below for a listing of all locations.

Daddy-O's Music​ worked with us and with Amahi Ukuleles​ to make our fund-raised dollars go so much farther.  Their generosity in all our ukulele projects has been a significant help to the cause.  Stillwater Arts and Humanities Council​ funded our grant proposal and we thank them for supporting all arts in Stillwater.

As a part of these latest donations, Kami has been doing beginner ukulele workshops at various libraries:

• 19 Kids and Adults at the  Perkins Public Library
• 15 Homeschoolers at the  Stillwater Public Library
• 25 Kids and Adults at the  Stillwater Public Library

It's been Kami's pleasure to be able to share this with Stillwater and Payne County (and beyond).
