CPTP169: A chat with Musiclock creator Perttu Pölönen

MusiClock is one of my favourite apps. I use it in my lessons to make scales more interesting and to provide backing tracks for improvisations. I'm delighted to have its creator on the show today, Perttu Pölönen.

Not only has Perttu created this fantastic app (at only 24!) he's also working on a whole method with physical manipulatives, the app is just one component.

I found this interview inspiring and fascinating as we dove into Perttu's mission and the story behind MusiClock. I hope you enjoy it too.
