The everyday self-talk every music teacher should be using!

We all know we need to take care of ourselves to be the best teacher, colleague, spouse, parent, and person we can be. This includes taking care of both physical and mental well-being.  What I wasn’t aware of until recently was how impactful it is to take everyday language and intentionally use it to empower and impact ourselves (and others) for the better.  Often, particularly as teachers, we’re so busy! We don’t take the time out to stop and ask ourselves a simple question and actually care about the response we give back… but we really should! We’re teachers. We’re leaders. We have to get up in front of our classes everyday and lead them to greatness. We can’t do that if we don’t take this little bit of time to feel great ourselves.  Author Patricia Ireland once said  “I don't think you lead by pessimism and cynicism. I think you lead by optimism and enthusiasm and energy.” That is what we’re about here at the Fun Music Company. I want to make it my mission to really help teachers, and help them have the three keys of optimism, enthusiasm.. and energy they need to have a fantastic time teaching. And it’s that notion of these three keys that sparked the need for our newest K-6 Curriculum v2.0 update to include 280 done-for-you lessons.
