Kaʻohekani, a groundbreaking one-year online certificate in Hawaiian music, will give participants a deeper understanding of the connection and balance between Hawaiian music and hula. The latest academic offering from Windward Community College is immersive, accelerated and cohort based. The series of eight-week online classes are taught by Kamuela Kimokeo (music) and Kawaikapuokalani Frank Hewett (Hawaiian language, hula). “The Kaʻohekani Hawaiian music online certificate is beneficial to those who play Hawaiian music, hula dancers, and those who just enjoy Hawaiian music and hula. The program not only provides balance in Hawaiian music knowledge but creates understanding, synergy and appreciation for their relationships to one another,” said Kimokeo.
