John, I know I have already commented on this but, please tell your students that although I would give their English pronounciation 100% - if it was a music lesson - I would also give them 100%. They sound absolutely fantastic!! Really beautiful.
I hope that your grades on this video alone will give them top marks!! (Or very near that)
Wow! That was powerful! I mean... a classroom of ladies singing in to you, Tonight you're mine completely. But really, that was a very good video. It's nice seeing more of you playing the uke as oppose to just your hands and face.
@idrnoel Thanks, Dylan! I don't have a good mic, so I usually like to sing as close to the camera mic as possible. I need to get some kind of mic so that I don't have to sit so close to the camera all the time! : )
This is one of my favorite videos from you. These ladies did a great job singing. I was hoping one them would have got crazy and improvised a litte skat or lalala or something.
One of my favorite Carole King songs! Your students look like some of mine -- but it looks much colder there, of course. I'm sure singing is a nice warm-up lesson on a winter's day. Do you play or sing songs to them for listening activities, too?
@jodyy121 Hi, Jody! I actually don't take my ukulele to class too often, but I think it's a good idea to incorporate music and song in the classroom. I think I should use my ukulele more often in class!
John, I have been away for a couple of days and here you are when I arrive back. It gives me so much pleasure to see you in your professional role teaching your students. Music certainly crosses all boundaries. Thankyou for showing this to all of us, your friends on YT.
That was really interesting. Just think of the world of opportunity you've opened over the years for all those people...teaching them another language. Very cool.
Besides jumping the gun there at the start,great song and vid.Tell your young ladies they did a wonderful job. Good to see you in your profession, Professor Pak .Keep up the good work.
Sharing the gift of music and the act of teaching - two extremely valuable activities. What a treat to see you performing in this environment. I get the feeling you are a person who touches so many lives in a very positive way. The class sounded great, by the way.
Nice job John. I think music (with ukulele) is a wonderful motivator. And it helps folks of all ages to work through the learning process. Thanks for sharing...
Great setting and feel to this John..Great job in pulling this off...Were they willing participants or did teacher have to offer an incentive, like no homework tonight :)
@freackykit Thanks, Chris! I've been wanting to make a video with students for the longest time, and I had the feeling this was the class to do it with. They are very nice, friendly students and there was a good atmosphere in the class. I think they were mostly willing to try, and I promised not to upload the video if it didn't turn out good. Plus, I think it's hard to resist when a ukulele is involved! : )
Hallo John, so even school can be fun... the teacher plays his cool uke to a wonderful love song and the lyrics are printed on Hello Kittie sheets =^..^=
I really enjoyed this video. I did not know you are a teacher.
@TanteA Thanks, Anette! I think I don't always succeed, but I think learning a foreign language should be enjoyable, so that's one of my goals as a teacher.
What a FUN way to learn! I bet you will have students wanting you to start teaching ukulele classes. Great job John and students in s4 sophomore English class!
@paxukulele LOL - I'm sure they did; young women seem to really like hello Kitty and the uke just made it special. They really did a lovely job - How nice for them to learn English with music! :)
It was great seeing you play with your class John! What a wonderful way for them to practice English. They all sounded so good!
