Most teachers and life-long learners find ourselves becoming increasingly fascinated with the ways our own sense of self, and our emotional engagement and our passion for our subject, impact our learning.Effective teachers not only deliver relevant content, but also foster in their students the emotional engagement, mental approach, and balance of challenge with security that best equip them to learn.This book delves into authenticity, mindsets, motivators, and dealing with fear.It explores some of the ways in which the neuroplasticity of the brain can inform the way we teach, and ways to help our students to practise effectively. There are tips for self-employed musicians about managing those all-important communications and admin. And, two chapters specifically for the cello teachers offer diagnostics for the underlying issues behind several common technical problems, and recommendations for cello books that are particularly useful in teaching technique through Grade levels 1-4.
