Local music teacher Judy Toomey helped to transport a group of local youth to Hawaii last week at the Cobar Shire Library when she offered students tips on how to play the ukulele. The classes to learn to play the iconic Hawaiian instrument were offered as part of Cobar Shire Council’s school holiday youth activities. The miniature four-string guitar embraces Hawaiian culture and it’s reported that just about anyone can learn to play it. Pictured with Judy (at far right) are students Oscar Degn, Isabella Degn, Ryan Jiang, Sophie Beer and Indigo Ryan.
