Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast Episode 17!

In this episode of the Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast, Chris Russell talks about some of the recent changes in his life (ukulele related) as well as changes to the video play alongs–some in reaction to the recent discussions he had on the podcast with Dr. Jill Reese and Rachel Webley.

Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast Episode 16!

In this episode of the Ukulele Video Podcast, Chris Russell visits with Rachel Webley, a content creator in Wales, U.K. Rachel makes the Ukulaliens videos, originally as a part of providing content for a club at Cwmtawe Comprehensive School.

Rachel has integrated music, graphic design, and the use of the Windows environment to create great looking, entertaining play along videos.

The video was recorded using YouTube’s Google Hangout features, and the video feed stops occasionally (audio continues), and there are moments of audio “garble” as well, but the discussion is still worth sharing.

The Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, and YouTube.

Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast Episode 14!

In this episode of the Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast, Chris visits with Andy Ramos at the end of the day on Friday of the TMEA convention–in very poor lighting conditions. Andy and Chris share a lot of video techniques in common, so this podcast talks about the things they do differently.

Andy is a middle school music teacher who currently has over 170 videos on YouTube, and is the co-administrator of the Ukulele Video Play Along Group on Facebook.

Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast Episode 13!

In this episode of the Ukulele Video Play Along Podcast, Chris Russell talks with Kris Gilbert, another music educator and creator of play along videos.  Kris follows the approach of Little Kids Rock, and talks about how her program, how she creates play along videos, and other pedagogical tips.  The podcast was recorded at the TMEA (Texas) conference in a room between two other rooms where there were other sessions being held, resulting in a noisy background.
