Kumu Keala Ching
Music & Program
Join Kumu Keala Ching for a Journey of the Hawaiian language from ʻŌpūkahaʻia to King Kamehameha III, Kauʻikeaouli until now.
The Hawaiian language is the connection to spirituality, spirituality is the understanding of place (Hualālai, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea), Aha (ceremonies) connected to rituals such as hula, blessings, birthdays, and Hōʻike (presentations) of lei, hula and Mele.
The Hawaiian language, Kumu affirms, holds the key to a deeper understanding of the islands and its people.
Keala Ching is an educator, composer, song writer, and kumu hula. He lives and breathes aloha into his Hawaiian heritage with his strong presence and great heart.
Growing up on the island of O'ahu, Keala Ching began his hula training at a young age. After many years learning and building his knowledge he graduated in the 'uniki rites to become a kumu hula. He serves as kumu for several halau, including two in Japan and one in Switzerland. He has been a practitioner of Ho'oponopono since 1999.
Kumu Keala is a graduate of University of Hawaii, Manoa, with a degree in early childhood education. He earned a Master's degree in education from Chaminade University. He is fluent in the Hawaiian language, which he uses as the foundation for teaching his students, both children and adults. Kumu is the co-founder and Executive Director of a foundation, Na Wai Iwi Ola. To learn more, visit the website: www.nawaiiwiola.org
Kumu has taught keiki and served in other capacities for several schools in the Kona area. For several years he taught Hawaiian language and music at Konawaena Middle School. For the 2024-2025 school year Kumu has served as Vice Principal of Kealakehe Elementary School. He continues to offer Hawaiian language and hula classes for the community, and a monthly “talk story” event called Under the New Moon, which takes place at the Outrigger (formerly Sheraton) in Keauhou.
