This is part 2 of my interview with middle school choir director Christopher Russell, from Oltman Middle School in Minnesota, who describes himself as a traditional-style music teacher who uses technology to support his program.
If you haven’t already listened to part 1 , you can listen to it here:

In part 2, Chris and I talk all things ukulele and the way in which he has been creating ukulele play-along videos using a handful of apps on his iPad.
Chris shares lots of great information and tips in this episode so I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed talking to him.
