After packaging the Nutrition Program donations, I noticed that two guys were playing bongos and drums so I went up to them and tried talking to them. It was a little difficult at first because they spoke Creole, but one knew a tiny bit of English. His name was Billy and he started talking about music and what instruments he plays. His friend brought out some sheet music and they asked if I could sing it (in solfege). I sang it for them and they were very impressed. Billy then asked me if I could teach him how to read music, and I was so excited to show him. I told them I had to eat lunch first, which I ate as fast as I could, and was given a quick French-word music lesson. I wrote otu a sheet for him, hoping that he could read, which he could. Mina and I went out, and she was there with the dictionary looking-up how to say certain musical terms.
It was the best lesson I have ever had to teach. He just kept wanting to learn more. Even his friend was understanding how to read the music, and I taught them some English as well (they even taught me some French musical terms). After the lesson, he told me in English, “God bless you, you are a great teacher” with a huge smile on his face and gave me a big hug.
That has been my best experience here so far. That lesson will help their church so much, because now they know how to read the sheet music they have. I will never forget this day!
