flag A Michigan teacher turned student slang into a viral TikTok hit, using it to boost choir engagement and confidence.

flag Michigan middle school choir teacher Taryn Gontjes turned student slang like “67” into a viral TikTok hit by having her class write and perform a song using phrases such as “Skibidi Ohio,” “Slay,” and “Rizzler,” set to a Dutch folk tune. flag Instead of discouraging the language, she used it as a teaching tool to build vocal skills and student engagement. flag The video, praised for its catchiness and authenticity, highlights her inclusive classroom where students share personal stories during “Friday Blues,” perform pop tributes, and grow in confidence over three years. flag Many students say they don’t love singing but love choir because of its supportive, welcoming environment.
