As a teacher no matter what age or year level you teach. What wears, tires or drains you out? Lets talk about it..... I know what wore me out - the contstant lack of support from parents for their childs learning. The lack of actual teaching because I was dealing with behaviours therefore I was parenting more than I was teaching - the list goes on Whats your list???
Thank you for the comment Broni and thank you for joining the community! The biggest hurdle I gave is trying to teach someone who doesn't really desire to learn the instrument. Parents often ask me whether their child is ready to learn an instrument and I tell them to ask themselves 2 questions: 1. Is the child big enough to hold the instrument? 2. Has the child expressed an interest in learning the instrument? If the answer is 'No' to either, we're all going to be wasting our time.
Here's a fun kids song that is super easy to play on the uke. It also helps kids work on counting and subtraction! https://youtube.com/shorts/I4fEN0oTJoA?feature=share
