‘Hawaii Vacation Blog’ posts ‘Ukuleles Provide Hawaii Soundtrack‘. Here are a few excerpts:

• ‘The sound of ‘ukuleles wafting on a light tropical breeze may seem like a movie cliché, but it really is a beloved musical instrument in Hawaii.‘
• ‘Even younger school children are also learning to play the ‘ukulele, some recipients of free instruments from the ‘Ukulele Guild of Hawaii.’

The article also shares a little about the history of Ukuleles.

Another article about this is found on the UK’s ‘The Independent’ -  ‘With my little ukulele: A revolution in music for youth:   It’s small, cheap and easy to pick up: no wonder the instrument made famous by George Formby is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to learn music in school.’
