Music teacher's Ilahi singalong with students will get you vibing to the beat
A music teacher led his students through Ilahi during a school session that turned into a singalong. The video received warm reactions online, with viewers calling it nostalgic and wholesome.
A music teacher turned a regular school session into a full-blown sing-along moment, as he performed one of his favourite songs with his students, and the internet couldn’t get enough of it.
Shared by Instagram user Chanakya, who works as a music teacher, the video captured a lively classroom-meets-concert vibe set to Ilahi from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.
In the clip, Chanakya was seen standing on a small school stage with a guitar in hand, strumming the opening chords as a group of students sat gathered in front of him.
As soon as the tune became familiar, the students joined in, singing along in near-perfect sync. What made the moment stand out was the energy in the room. Students weren’t just singing mechanically; they were smiling, swaying, and clearly enjoying the experience, turning the session into something far more interactive than a typical music class.
The teacher continued to guide them through the song, occasionally looking up from his guitar to cue the students, who responded enthusiastically, their voices blending together as they carried the melody. The atmosphere felt relaxed and almost concert-like, with the kind of warmth that made it clear this was a class they would remember long after school.
An overlay on the video read, “POV: Your music teacher is a Gen Z,” hinting at the informal, easygoing teaching style that resonated with viewers.

Online, the reactions went far beyond simple praise, with several users opening up about how unexpectedly emotional the video made them feel.
Many users said the clip felt “healing,” explaining that it reminded them of a version of school life they never quite experienced, one that allowed creativity, joy, and connection rather than strict rules and rigid classrooms.
Others reflected on their own childhoods, saying they grew up with teachers who discouraged expression, which made this moment feel even more special to watch.
A number of users shared that the video triggered a sense of nostalgia, making them wish they could go back and relive their school days in a more relaxed and encouraging environment.
Many also pointed out how such teaching styles could genuinely impact students, helping them open up, build confidence, and actually enjoy learning rather than just memorising lessons.
At the same time, several comments simply appreciated the wholesomeness of the moment, adding how rare it was to see classrooms where students and teachers connected this naturally.
