You don’t always need words to teach

This is a fun clip of Bobby McFerrin giving a music lesson and getting the audience to put on a little concert, all without using any words.

Clearly McFerrin has studied Reigeluth's Elaboration Theory and applies it well by starting with the simplest thing (a single note) and gradually building up layers of complexity with each of his little micro-lessons.
