"Kanikapila" is the Hawaiian word for collective jam sessions or music making. In contemporary Native Hawaiian culture, music making is a shared and collaborative space where people come together to create and learn from one another, regardless of how much prior experience you have.

Depending upon the students goals I like to take the approach of introducing harmony at a point in which that student is proficient on the open chords of the guitar and scales in the first position. If the student chooses to learn classical guitar I would begin with basic exercises in reading and playing from Frederick M Noad's Solo Guitar Paying. If the student prefers to learn some other style or genre, then I would begin to help the student choose and study music that presents an appropriate challenge and an opportunity for the student to build his/her repertoire.
