“FUN way to fix rests! 😆🎹”
@musomusicacademy · 87K followers
A piano teacher plays a piece with a young student, demonstrating how to correctly observe rests by using a 'crocodile game' where he mimes a crocodile snapping at her hand if she plays during a rest. The video shows a 'wrong' example and a 'right' example, then challenges the student to do it herself.

Why it worked
The video works because it presents a common learning challenge (observing rests in music) in a highly engaging, playful, and memorable way. The 'crocodile game' is visually entertaining and creates a clear, immediate consequence for mistakes, making the learning process fun and effective. The before-and-after comparison and the challenge to the student enhance the educational value and viewer engagement. The teacher's animated expressions and the student's reactions add to the entertainment.
