Your song “Something Wonderful Happened Today” was SO GOOD. Seriously, I was stunned at how terrific you are on ukulele. After I watched and listened to you, I told my wife that you’re an amazing ukulele musician. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Cheers.

Cali, you are the best!! A woman after my own heart! Responsible, kind, patient, and conscientious! You are the reason I am able to stick to this challenge! Update: I have been tuning up everyday and now it’s a cinch to get to the green…

How wonderful it is to celebrate you and all the pleasure you bring to us with your voice, our music, your smile and your great big heart.

Thank you!  I have just added the Thursday class to my life and fingerpicking.  What a transition you and the uke have brought to my life.  Life with the ukulele is so much richer.

“Singing is like taking your voice on a joy ride to lift the blood and tears of life. Without music, I couldn’t bear the stress.” —Winston Churchill. Cali, thanks for bringing music to our lives. (more…)

Even though I am just a beginner, I am hooked!  You are a fabulous teacher!  I love the way you give us options and challenge us to try new strum patterns. Also, the alternate fingering for chords is very helpful.  Love, love, love your class.

“Your classes are a joy and I’m so thankful for Zoom so I can “attend.”

Thanks Cali for the joy you put in the universe.

You really have created an amazing community/ohana with your excellent personality and teaching abilities, my Dear. So many of us have remained connected during this dreadful pandemic because of YOU! Thank you. 

I LOVE your Monday and Thursday sessions and have learned so much from you…if anything, I get so inspired to play with that amazing smile of yours and the positive energy you give off every second of every minute!! Thanks again.

The routine of my life during this pandemic has been so enriched by taking your classes. My mental, physical, emotional and spiritual are healthier, I’m sure.

You know that we appreciate YOU, across nations! Thank you for being a patient teacher and a marvelous cheerleader to your ukulele family.

Cali, I enjoyed your class Wednesday for the children’s uke group. One eye-opener for me:  I’d wondered how to remember embellishments, and you mentioned printing empty uke grids!! Brilliant, and just what I needed. Thanks so much for all your amazing efforts and expertise!

You are always very generous about congratulating us for what we do in our community with ukulele. But, please keep in mind, that all of this, my friend, is your legacy. These people are all playing and enjoying ukulele and spreading the joy thanks to your kindness, your talent, your leadership.

Thank you! Your extra advice during the class helps enormously, as does your encouragement.

Your classes bring me (and so many others), apart from uke knowledge, the joy and happiness and laughter, truly a bright light all year around, and especially when the world is dark, your classes are a sanctuary! I forgot to say, and I learn so much about uke and music and 1, 3, 5, and minors and majors, and now our new choir teacher talks about these things, and I feel so smug! (Cali taught us that!!)
