The golden rays of the January morning sun pierced through the window as Kehinde Ayoade adjusted his tie, ready for his first day back as the music teacher at Living Treasure Model School. The school compound buzzed with life—students reconnecting with friends, parents dropping off their children, and teachers exchanging warm greetings. Kehinde’s heart swelled with anticipation as the principal’s welcoming address highlighted the school’s dedication to creativity, with a special nod to the music department's impact. This term promised to be yet another opportunity to inspire young minds through the power of music.
Entering the music room for his first class, Kehinde was greeted by eager students and the polished scent of a freshly cleaned space. On the board, he had written, “Music is the universal language of mankind,” setting the tone for the term. He started with an icebreaker, asking students to share their favorite songs and instruments, sparking excitement and curiosity. Kehinde outlined the term’s goals: the juniors would learn basic theory and recorder tunes, while seniors would explore harmony and ensemble work. By the time he demonstrated a simple melody on the piano, the students were captivated, ready to embark on their musical journey.
As the day progressed, Kehinde moved between classes, encouraging students to explore their potential. Some struggled with basic notes, while others surprised him with hidden talents on the keyboard. Patiently guiding each one, he celebrated their small victories, knowing they were stepping stones to greater achievements. By the end of the day, Kehinde felt a deep sense of fulfillment. Walking out of the school gates, he hummed a tune, already envisioning the symphony of growth and discovery that awaited in the term ahead.
