On the last episode of The Anacrusic Podcast, I talked all about the importance of seeing yourself as a teacher musician instead of just a music teacher. This is such an important distinction, because it puts the emphasis of the label we use for ourselves on our intention.
It’s my musicianship that makes me an amazing teacher for my students. It’s my musicianship that brought me to my teaching practice, and it’s my musicianship identity that I put before everything (you know, other than wife and mother) about how I define myself in my professional life.
So today, on another Anacrusic in Action episode, I’m sharing some actionable ideas for how to truly unleash your own teacher musicianship.
