"How do her lessons work as a team builder?" "You have to listen to each other and work together to make music. As the ukulele is much easier than many instruments to play, it means you can make music in an hour. The ukulele is a great leveller; I'd love to see George Osborne and his team at the Treasury giving it some welly to Teenage Kicks."
