 Clara has written an article in this month's Sing Up magazine giving tips on how to get started with ukuleles in the classroom.
Sing Up is an organisation which promotes and supports singing in schools. Singing is all part of the fun in Uke Club and we're really pleased to have had the opportunity to contribute. The photos were taken by Teele Killing at our Children's Ukulele Festival last year.
