Well, last week was so melodious, due to my effective effort which I added in teaching the youth, I tried as much as I could to claim them down while teaching, hahaha 🤣 🤣, you may be surprised due it sounds so funny, but is only a teacher that can be able to understand the headache one pass through while teaching.

Last week It happened that I was opportune to teach the youth, due I was just a children Sunday school teacher at my church and also a public teacher, but last week, ooô my God!!! It wasn't easy at all, even, at the first place the were looking down on me because of my physical size, but one thing is assured and that is because I trust my capability. So I wasn't discouraged because I have been to so many seminar to teach, but it seems like that wasn't the solution, lol 🤣, because this was a face to face teaching and is not about seminar but music and I observed that the were all doing this because of familiarity.

But I really thank God that everyone learnt something, it was full of fun and happiness, actually I really enjoyed for being with the youth truly the were so jovial.

What topic or lesson have you taught or learned? Tell us in details.

Well, I was teaching them and as well learning, so I taught them on how to play local instrument, because am perfect at that side. So it was an Akuba local drums, due it was there first time of having such local instrument, so as a professional teacher, I don't need to jump into the practical aspect so what I did was to introduce and tell them what Akuba is about before we now jump in.

So I taught them that Akuba is a set of three small congas originating from the Yoruba tradition, played harmoniously with both sticks and hands.
And it is made of timber and animal skin's so that it can add a nice Melody to the music. I taught them to understand how the melody goes, it is not been rushed while playing, but you need to calm down and follow the bit if you want to play a professional bit.

How is your progress after teaching or after learning? Present here.

I made a lot of progress, because after teaching them on that Saturday, the all was so happy, and when the where doing some rehearsals by themselves I was observeing and I found out that the really grab the skill.

The much evidence that proof to be that I really made a progress was on the next day which was on Sunday, when we were playing the local local instrument, wow, the whole church was amazed and was enjoying the melodious gospel music together with the Akuba sounds, so my progress after teaching was a clear evidence of success.

Conclusion 🎺🎻🥁

Truly, teaching is not just an ordinary skill but is a process of calming down so as to impact a good knowledge to your students or who so ever. So I thank God who always helpe me in all my teaching and lectures so I continue praying for more Grace and wisdom to all my fellow teachers and students.

So at this juncture, I would like to invite some of the teachers and students, so that the can share with us what the have learnt or teach, so I invite @bossj23, @ngoenyi, & @theking20
