Peter Luongo has decades of experience as a master teacher and leader of the Langley Ensemble. His work was prominently featured in the award-winning documentary Mighty Uke and he is one of the ukulele community’s most motivational teachers. Through Luongo’s mentorship, many students have gone on to highly successful careers and leadership roles. His most famous ukulele student, James Hill, is considered one of the greatest uke performers on the planet. Luongo has continued to be an inspiration to students both young and old as attested to by one of his last students in this Tedx Talk.
