Teaching Music

Well, where should I start? The first thing that come to my mind about teaching is, well, I love it, really. It's a blessing to teach someone, and make them understand about something, to let them know what that something really means. In music, I teach about the sound, the writing, the history, the feeling, and the technique of it. But sometimes, I can't just tell them everything because of age. Older students can understand what I mean, while little children can't get what I mean. Well, it all goes step by step, and as time goes by, they all will understand on their own. They'll make their own framework, pattern, and imagination inside their brains, which are really exciting to know/find out when they get what I mean.

The second thing that follows is I like the students, even though sometimes they are hard to be nurtured by me, because of their boredom or just their moods. Well, sometimes we can't force them to study, because even me, myself, got my own time when I feel like don't want to study. But to the contrary, I'm really excited to have my students who are excited about the study. It makes me feel happy, and awake, and well, excited! I could smile all day even though I'm tired and hungry and sleepy. Just like in my old teaching place, there's a young girl named Ameera. She's a lovely little girl. She loves music, she loves dance, and she loves drawing too. I'm happy to teach her. The whole session, we're singing, and laughing, and smiling, and it's really fun.

Also there's another young girl named Alvina. She's really fun, and she loves teasing me sometimes. We shared a lot too. I think I really love them all, and I really miss them right now. But then, I had to move out from the school.

And now, I'm teaching in another place, and there's a young girl who can make me laugh, as in, really laugh, and I'm really really happy to teach her. Same like before, the whole session, we have laughs, smiles, and fun, and sometimes, she doesn't want to go home even though class is finished. So sometimes I accompany her for few minutes, or give her additional minutes because she asks me for it. And after a class with her, I feel refreshed, even though she's my last student of the day. And my tiredness is eased by this Philia therapy ( her name is Philia ).

I think that's all for now..
