Within The Musician

Virtual learning was not the first choice of students or teachers, but by entering into this new territory we have all been challenged. I will talk about what I have learned from teaching virtually, and my appreciation for this challenge. Later in the segment my 8 students will share what virtual learning is like for them. Isabelle, Drishti, Claire, Caroline, Arhan, Liza, Lexi, and Crystal bravely tell it how it is. The social challenges, and the exhaustion of it all.  They recognize the hard work of all their teachers and remain hopeful for a better future.

This podcast is a place of discovery for all students, performers, educators and future educator. Join me and my guest each week as we explore why music matters. We will talk about the struggles and the triumphs, But above all we draw inspiration from one another as we explore ways to make ourselves happier and healthier human beings. Music is not just about the study of tone, technique, rhythm or theory. We will explore topics like stress management, perfectionism, communication, connection and above all self care and compassion.
