The Fascination of Teaching

Yes, I wrote that right, you saw that right - teaching.

And I found out the fascination of teaching - the contentment of teaching, only when I got into my Form 4 life.

How so?

Well firstly, me and Jail - my band electric guitarist - had a plan early this year: That is, to start up a guitar class so as to get more people interested in guitar. The want to "make-another-person-good-in-guitar" feel is one, and the want to earn extra income is another.

Actually, the fees weren't my idea - I don't want money, I don't crave for money. But oh well, seeing as quite many people were interested in learning up guitar for RM15 instead of the pricey fees outside, I'm not complaining am I?

How did we do it?

Just last Valentine's-day-cum-school-sport's-day - 14 February - we had our first meeting at my house at 2pm to 4pm (But they went home around 5 something). And I could only say it was quite successful - where new learners learn up REAL fast.

Imagine this situation - 7 monkeys people having a guitar in their hands each, strumming a different tune, trying to learn the chords of different songs.. Ever heard of pandemonium?

We had Theh - who already has the basics already, so we're teaching him some power chords and singing while strumming.
We had Chiayong - a new beginner who's.. Uhh well, a beginner. Not familiar with the chords yet, but will be after practice.
Next to come is Megan - who owns a pretty shiny classical guitar. Uh-uh, not so good for strumming ain't it? Her guitar skills are not bad, but I think the main reason she came is only to use my internet.
And.. we have Andrea - a new learner too, but she's a real quick learner - what with her perseverance and patience, it's no wonder she shot up faster than Chiayong.
The fifth and last one Jane - who had some learning experience already from her brother, but still needs guidance. Quite okay.

While at the same time in school, more and more friends are interested to learn up guitar already.

Fees or not, I'll teach those who're willing to learn from an amateur like me.

Just for the sake of teaching - and the satisfaction of teaching someone something.

On the other hand, I'm beginning to learn up some violin and flute already, XD.

Catch y'all later.
