Now, thanks to the New Zealand Ukulele Trust, you'll also find thousands of school children - from one end of the country to the other - learning ukulele. The NZ Ukulele Trust organises tuition for teachers who teach pupils to play, sing and perform with confidence. Next Saturday, thousands of aficionados will jam together at Vector Arena for the 10th annual New Zealand Ukulele Festival. Sevesi co-founded the Ukuleles in Schools programme and helped arrange the first Ukulele Festival at Mt Roskill Intermediate in 2007. The NZ Ukulele Trust's Mary Cornish is enthusiastic about Honoka and Azita, too.
