In the first hour of the meeting we introduce the songs of the month so members can hear what the songs sound like. We always have songs for beginners to play and we also try to have a song in Japanese and a Hawaiian song based on the theme. Although many members play and enjoy Hawaiian songs, the ukulele is a highly versatile insturment that allows for all musical styles and Okilele meetings focus on all styles of music. The second hour of the meeting is a group practice for 30 minutes, then groups perform the song they practiced. The third hour of the meeting uses an open microphone concept where any member can play any song they'd like.
