New Podcast! Episode 1: Be Observant!
Today I am including something new on the blog. This is episode 1 of a very short "blogcast" that I made about a teaching and parenting tip. The episode is merely 2.5 minutes long. I hope you find something useful in the material. I also hope that you will write me in the comments below and let me know what you think and what topics you might like to see in the future. I am eager to know how this experience worked. blogcast episode 1
Thanks for sharing! I'd love to hear more application to teaching, like practical examples of how to apply these thoughts or other thoughts to everyday violin teaching.
Thanks, Hannah! I thought about doing that and decided that this would be better as a longer article or discussion. In fact, I've been thinking about a short webinar or live Q & A about "how to read a student." It's like an art form, isn't it? Trying to read the mismatch between child and parent when they enter the studio, trying to read a student's "mood." That sort of thing. These little podcast episodes come from a book that I wrote for parents, and it was designed to be short little daily reflections to help parents be better home teachers/parents during their Suzuki journey. I thought I would try a few of these reflections out as podcasts first and see what folks thought about them. I'm still learning the podcast thing.
Thanks so much for commenting! I look forward to hearing from you again!
