So the past few days we've been working with some young bands in the area and I honestly have to say it's been one of the best and most rewarding experiences of my life. Today we worked with small groups of students playing our instrument and I've never seen kids (and peers) so eager and willing to learn! They asked questions and paid close attention to everything I said, even though I don't think they could understand too much, and it was so exciting when they started to understand and improve with the lesson being taught. I just wish the language barrier wasn't so hindering!
