What does the future hold for the Langley School district vis a vis ukulele?

PL: Well, right now we’re in a place that is both very encouraging and also a bit scary. The program is doing extremely well right now. We’ve got six honour groups, we’ve got a group that is learning from scratch through a grant from one of our local credit unions, we’ve trained students in my group to teach kids to play, we’ve got nearly two hundred kids playing in the community outside of school time, we’ve got—certainly not as many as in the early days—but we’ve got lots of kids still playing in school, and we continue to have a community that is embracing it not just in the schools but we’ve now got three seniors’ homes that are offering ukulele instruction through our kids, and we’ve got an adult community that just absolutely loves coming out to hear our group perform.

We sold just over a thousand tickets to our Christmas concert series. So, we know that there’s a great deal of excitement around the program and around being involved. But I’m needing to look toward transition ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
