076 - 7 Things to Carry Into the New School Year

It’s my second full week of teaching. I know some of you have been back to school and lessons for a month now, but I’m still getting my bearings, adjusting to a new schedule, organizing studio classes, and setting my intentions for the year.This is not a formal practice, but it’s something I sort of subconsciously do to mark the beginning of the new teaching year. I ask myself a few questions:- “What do I want this year to look like?”- “What do I want my students to experience?”- “What do I want to prioritize or focus on?”- “What do I value in the music teaching and learning process that I want to lean into?”Do you do this, too?If you’re on my email list, I shared in last week’s newsletter three things I’m bringing with me into the new year drawn from this practice. Today, I’m sharing a few more—7 things to carry into the new teaching year—and I hope this inspires you on your teaching journey.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.Get my free, 7-min. monthly email newsletter—loved by 21,768 musicians & educatorsLessons in Chemistry: A Novel (Bonnie Garmus)Inspired Piano Teaching (Marvin Blickenstaff)Sign up for a virtual work retreatEp. 068 - How to Plan a Musical InformanceEp. 069 - A Musical Informance to Celebrate the Solar EclipseEp. 071 - 3 Things I Learned From Hosting a Musical InformanceMusical Informance Planning Guide for K-12 Piano TeachersIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review in Apple Podcasts >>Find me on Instagram: @ashleydanyew
