• Hook questions: what is an accessible reference for this? (Law requires a login), also the article has "possibly" taught

ALT1 questions: what is the best reference for this? should this be "future" queen?

• Thanks, Zeete (talk) 12:44, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Added future queen to ALT1.

Here are the direct quotes from the sources.

“Ahe Lau Makani” (“There Is a Breath”), a beautiful waltz, was composed in 1868 by Princess Liliuokalani, her sister Princess Miriam Likelike, and Lizzie Kapoli, who would have been about sixteen at the time, a year younger than Princess Likelike. (Law 2012, p. 199)

It seems likely that Kapoli Kamakau, who held singing classes in Honolulu, also taught the girls at Bishop Home since it is known that she also taught students at the Protestant church how to play the organ. It is very possible that one of the songs that the girls sang for Queen Liliuokalani was “O Makalapua,” which Kapoli had described to the queen in 1887 as “your song, one to enjoy" (Law 2012, p. 242)
