Volunteer Information

All volunteers are welcome.  Please call or email for more information on projects.

The Hawaiian Music Foundation supports the programs of the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame.  Founded in 1995 by Marjorie J. Scott, the Hawaiian Music Foundation is an IRS 501(c)(3) educational corporation.

The Hawaiian Music Foundation aims “to preserve, perpetuate, and promote significant Hawaiian music for the future.”  Its goal is a single source for Hawaiian music history, research, and knowledge of the Hawaiian music culture.  It does this through museum quality standing koa exhibits of Hawaiian music composers, performers whom it has induced into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame for the past 10 years.

It has founded "E Mele Kakou," a primary school Hawaiian music course especially designed for schools in Hawai'i which have no regular music programs. Public concerts of classic Hawaiian songs and hula are regularly presented, produced, and directed by Kahauanu Lake. The Hawaiian Music Foundation contains biographies of all Hall of Fame inductees, as well as an interactive "Talk Story Forum" for those with questions, comments, history, and answers.
