5. Performing at a concert or recital. It can help you relate to your students and gain their trust because they know you are doing the same thing. Having their trust builds confidence for you too.
“When I have to get ready for my performances…I’m going through some of the same things that they are going through in getting ready for their performances…it can gain their trust a little more because they know that I’m in the trenches with them.”
“One of the biggest things we can give our students is helping them find their own confidence as well…that giving them confidence helps us build our own!”
