Let them impress


Dear reader,

Recently, my CCA was asked by St John HQ to provide a performance item for their Chinese New Year.

Being less talented than my cadets, I assigned them to do a 5 to 10 min guitar show. Despite certain pressure to play traditional songs, I allowed my students to choose whatever tune they wanted. (Of course I restricted the lyrics-- no swearing, violence or suggestive language.)

For me, the fact that they were willing to overcome their nerves to perform is an achievement in itself. It was the first time in a long time I allowed my students to run their own programme, and I am proud of them.

Regards,
Reuben
