Largest Private Group

The Funstrummers Group of 15 from Modesto, California was the largest group who scheduled a private lesson at the Bailey House. Mele taught 3 Hawaiian songs with Hawaiian strums as requested and they performed a few songs. Mele arranged “Be My Baby” after being inspired by their version.

“You are a fantastic teacher” commented one player after the workshop.
