The PROBLEM
Few students emerge from music training unscathed.
- Lack of training about the body makes them susceptible to injury:
3 out of 4 musicians will get injured.
A HUGE loss of time, money, and human potential. 😞
______________________________
- A musical culture of criticism, comparison, and competition fosters toxic self-judgment, undermines confidence and creates anxiety.
“But I’m not a therapist! I'm just here to teach music!"
______________________________
- Today’s youth experience ongoing trauma that creates more tension:
- 25 years of active school shooter drills
- loss of connection & learning from Covid
- bullying and discrimination of ethnic, gender & racial identities
The sad truth is,
if we don't change,
many of our students will give up
because of injury, performance anxiety, & perfectionism.
______________________________
A NEW KIND OF TEACHING IS NEEDED.
How do I, as a studio teacher,
get the skills to meet that new world?
The SOLUTION -
It’s actually quite simple.
But it requires a paradigm shift...
from telling to listening
from correcting to celebrating
from perfectionism to creativity
from the top-down, teacher-managed lesson to one that
centers students' experiences
It starts with YOU !
WHAT IF you could improve your students' success
with a few basic yet profound changes?
-------------------------------------
As one of the only adults who have precious one-to-one time with students,
you have a unique and sacred relationship.
You may be the one person they can talk to.
Research shows that students need consistent mentorship
to develop confidence and resilience for life -
the very same tools they need to be successful musicians!
All you need is the right kind of training:
- A holistic curriculum, based in student-centered learning, that targets injury prevention.
- Practice teaching where you can unleash your own creativity and gain effective tools to allay students' fears.
- A community of creative and caring colleagues to support you in your exploration.
YOU are the KEY to turning students’ pain around!
