The passengers on the Southwest Airlines flight from Long Beach to Honolulu were surprised with a ukulele lesson.
Guitar Center surprised passengers on Southwest Airlines from Long Beach to Honolulu with a ukulele class on Friday, September 16.
A unique lesson in the sky, a road runner carrying case, and a Mitchell Soprano ukulele were all given to passengers on the plane. Passengers were taught how easy it is to learn to play the ukulele by the best-in-class Guitar Center Lessons instructors. Can you tell me how are you? Passengers on board kicked off their weekend travels flying across the Pacific Ocean with a sweet sounding surprise and an unforgettable travel day to Honolulu.
Passengers were led in a group lesson to begin their journey to the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. I have never taught students in an airplane. Many passengers with no musical background picked up the ukulele quickly. Windsor said that the ukulele is the perfect instrument for beginners because of how easy it is to learn.
