In a small village school in China, a young music teacher named Wu Yuzheng faced a big challenge. Most of her students had never sung a full song before. They were “left-behind children,” whose parents worked far away. The school had no proper music teacher until Wu arrived.
Wu wanted to start a choir, but it seemed impossible. The children could not follow basic rhythm or lyrics. She felt worried and stuck. Then, she got a chance to learn the Kodaly Method, a special way of teaching music from Hungary. It uses hand signs and games to make learning fun and easy. Wu worked hard to join the training, even though it was difficult to get a place.
After the training, she was determined to try. She chose about 20 students for her choir. They practiced in a simple meeting room with little equipment. Sometimes, students wanted to quit because of schoolwork or costs. But Wu held a meeting for parents. When the parents heard their children sing, they were moved and promised to support them.
Finally, the choir performed on stage at a city school. The children, dressed in simple clothes, sang a song based on a classical poem. They were nervous but proud. Their progress amazed everyone, even the Kodaly trainer from abroad.
Wu’s one-year journey in the village taught her an important lesson: music belongs to every child, no matter where they are from. Now back in her city school, she continues to believe that all children can enjoy and own the gift of music.
