This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

example of a bad teacher right there.

In one hand hold the bit of string that connected to the triangle bit.

Assume the student has two hands for this next part and at least one for the first part.

In the other hand hold the hitting stick part.
bang two parts of triangle together.

should any sort of sound come out, say well done.

Ask to see how many variations the student can come up with when banging two parts of triangle together and which one they like most.

You forgot the important bit though
You have to bang the two parts together in time with the music, or at least to coincide with accents in the music.

Admittedly,
the passage of the months decades has dimmed my memory of the precise events, but I thought I'd managed all that. There's clearly some extra subtlety of which I'm still unaware.
