[Concurrent] Judou Band rehearsing "Give Me Time for a Song"

  Can you give me time for a song, and say goodbye to the end of the story, you send my tears, let it stay in the rain, cross the line you drew, I set the end of courage.

  [Explanation] The Judou Band rehearsing in the screen is composed of 7 young middle and primary school teachers from Liuyang, Hunan.

The physical education teacher is the lead singer, the math teacher plays the guitar, and the English teacher plays the ukulele... Due to limited conditions, several teachers can only use the rest time to rehearse songs in the office, which often attracts the attention of the students.

  Several teachers came together because of their love of music.

The name of the band is quoted from the "Sentences of "Teacher Talk", "I don't know, I don’t understand, I’m confused, I’m confused." Their musical literacy planted the seeds of music in their hearts.

  I hope that I can teach or lead them to experience some of the music that I feel and learn.

  [Commentary] Song Huaiyu is one of the initiators of the band and one of the few professional music teachers in the band.

He said that music has a great inspiring effect on him. After learning music, his personality has become outgoing. He also hopes to pass on the power of music to his students through his own efforts.

  Sometimes, for example, after class, when we are practicing for a while, students will come to watch, or we are very curious about what we are doing.

So I’m in music class now, and I have also tried to incorporate some percussion instruments and some simple Orff instruments.

  [Explanation] Now, the band has a fixed rehearsal time every week, and there are already many finished repertoires that can be obtained. Their performance of "Daoxiang" at the school’s New Year’s Day performance has caused quite a stir. Not only the chorus of all teachers and students was attracted at the scene, but many students often ran to their offices after the performance to express their desire to learn musical instruments from the teacher. The teachers would also teach them some simple dialing. Strings, chords, etc., and encourage children to learn a musical instrument like reading a book, making continuous efforts and practicing often.

  Liu Liang, a second-grade student, sang the famous songs of the teachers for reporters.

He also told reporters that after seeing the teachers forming a band, he really wanted to join them.

  I learned a little piano before, but I didn't learn it later. I taught myself at home. I also have a good sense of rhythm, even drumming.

(Teachers' performance) made me more interested in this music program.

  [Explanation] Song Huaiyu said that music education in rural areas is relatively weak. When it was discovered that many students fell in love with music, everyone was deeply moved and rehearsed harder.

Although the teaching and living conditions in the country are limited, music can give them the motivation to laugh and persevere. They will also keep their love for music forever, and pass this love to students so that children can know beyond books. Music, feel music, cultivate your own hobbies.

  In this regard, Zhou Ronggui, the principal of Wenjia City Middle School in Liuyang, said that under the influence of these teachers, the students of the school are very interested in music, and they have a good role in driving children to develop healthy interests.

  The success of these teachers has caused a certain sensation in our school, so the students are deeply influenced by them, and they also have a love for music since they were young.

So these teachers have played a very good role in motivating our students to love and fall in love with music from an early age, and then develop in music.
