From Broadway to cruise ships, Fortune 100 companies to classrooms, Mele’s music is about ‘Ohana and aloha.

Most ʻUkulele with Mele students begin their journey somewhere at sea. Whether they’re picking up the instrument for the very first time or returning to it after years away, our community spans oceans and continents.

Even after Mele disembarks, the music continues. Dedicated student liaisons keep the learning alive onboard, creating spaces for others to grow, connect, and play. Many of these students go on to perform together during the voyage—sharing not just songs, but confidence, joy, and a sense of belonging.

Here’s a glimpse into our global ʻohana—music, memories, and community from ships around the world.
