Music is very HEALING

Aloha, greetings to all and welcome to keep living the dream! My name is Matt Higashida and this video is about playing my ukulele and how music is very healing.
As mentioned earlier in my kick off video, I've been a cancer survivor since 2011. Activities such as diving, surfing, fishing, playing the ukulele, etc. were very healing and those activities helped me to have the mindset to never give up, encourage others and have some fun.
Thank you very much Roy and Kathy Sakuma, and all your instructors who taught our family how to play the ukulele! Music helped us to enjoy good quality family time and we shared many good times at the Annual Ukulele Festival Hawai`i events every summer until COVID restrictions prevented large gatherings from happening in 2020.
Special thanks goes to my instructor Kathy Sakuma who really took the time to demonstrate, explain and share helpful techniques regarding how to play the ukulele. Playing the ukulele is very relaxing, soothing and healing. The sound from the ukulele was easy on my ears.
Music can be fun, relaxing, motivating, inspiring, uplifting and a good way to connect with people. I sincerely hope you will be encouraged and inspired by watching this video to see and hear how everything is interconnected. I'm very grateful and thankful for all the opportunities to give back and share my cancer journey to encourage and inspire other people afflicted with cancer. From personal experience in my ongoing fight against cancer, I'm truly convinced that music is very healing.
