During the episode, Tanya shares a significant teaching accomplishment involving managing a combined class of kindergarten, first, and second graders. She adeptly facilitated a percussion lesson with nearly 50 students, utilizing an abundance of small percussion instruments to engage each child. The lesson featured a video playback that encouraged students to play along, demonstrating their understanding of how to properly rest when required.
