Engaging, Educating, and Enriching all ages around the world through music and the 'ukulele.

Founded in 2023, Four Strings at a Time was created to bring music education and 'ukulele to a broader spectrum. Founders Craig Chee & Sarah Maisel have been involved in the world wide 'Ukulele Community for over 20 years, performing and teaching. Finally settling in Honolulu, HI, they have made it their life’s mission to create more opportunities for people of all ages to express themselves through music.

In our travels, we always ask people why they play the ‘ukulele, and the reply is always “because it makes me happy”, or, “it makes me smile”. This instrument allows those, who were intimidated by music, a chance to express themselves, and it’s an amazing tool for children to start learning the joys of music.
