CEBU CITY, Philippines— A teacher who sings is a teacher who shines!
That’s exactly how this 24-year-old grade school teacher from Urgello, Cebu City caught not just the attention of her students, but also of netizens.
Jeryline Aves, who loves to sing since she was four years old, shared with CDN Digital a video of her version of the famous song from the play ‘The Sound of Music’ titled Do-Re-Mi.
Her passion for singing combined with her love for teaching resulted in something beautiful and creative during this new educational set-up due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Aves, who is a music teacher, said the video is her way of connecting with her pupils.
“Even though I can get a copy of it online, I still recorded it because I think they look up to me and they’re used to me teaching them. I made the video as interactive as possible,” she said.
With a her magical voice, one can really say that this two-minuter video is conducive for learning.
Aves said that her talent in singing was honed back in college, where she was a member of the Cebu Normal University Chorale. This paved the way for her to work not just on her singing skills but her confidence as well.
She said that even if she would have to retake the videos a couple of times just to perfect it, she would gladly do it just as long as her pupils would enjoy and learn from it.
