I work at a private JHS/HS once a week. This is a school where I don’t use Katakana and I speak mostly English. This week, The students chose the lesson which was music. I brought in my Iphone and hooked it up to a nice audio speaker. I told the students to pick their favorite songs and discuss. The students really got into this as in singing their favorite song while it was playing to being a tad embarrassed about their favorite jam. This lesson was so groovy that students themselves brought the teachers into the lesson. And the teachers actively participated with no complaints. The age divide became noticeably evident when one teacher played some Bossa Nova but the last one was hilarious because he picked Metallica’s master of puppets. Towards the end of lesson I picked one of my favorite jams for us to sing. The song is a mid tempo indie jam by Jets to Brazil called Cat Heaven. I broke the students into 3 and each set of 3 sang a verse and the chorus of the song. The teachers not wanting to be out done sang the song also.Everybody did great and a few times I was on the verge of tears. Jay Onyskin
