For some reason, this week went by faster than last week, perhaps March break is on its way.
During this week I've learned to make my instruction really clear and always demonstrate all the song games and activities for the young primary students. When learning songs by rote, I always have to read out the lyrics first and have students follow me after each phrase I sang. The primary kids can be very silly sometimes, they love to move around, even when I asked them to make a big circle holding other person's hand while walking around can be chaotic.
Also new this week: Ellesmere- Statton Idol audition was held at the music room after school. And I get to watch the auditions. There were about 15 candidates, and they did lots of singing and dancing. I was really glad to see the talents those students have, some of the students were shy and sounded small when they sang but because it's only the first round of audition and the teachers wanted to see all the candidates before decisions can be made, so they didn't give out much comments to the students. Hopefully the March break would give them more time to practice. Looking forward for the real show in April!!
