Making the connection: a guide for talking with parents and students.(Forum Focus: Independent Music Teacher)
Music teachers are involved in a "high-touch" (as opposed to "high-tech") profession. Because there is daily interaction with others, there is a constant amount of communication that can run the emotional gamut. And since teachers are in the business of teaching people--not music--most will, at some point, if it hasn't happened already, be met with difficult and exhausting situations with parents and students.
Making the Connection: A Guide for Talking with Parents and Students has been developed by MTNA, with the assistance of a professional counselor. It offers ideas for handling difficult situations while building connections, not barriers.
"In all of our interactions with people, we bring a countless number of reactions, beliefs, and feelings that are guided by our life experiences and that determine how we connect with others," explains Sandra Keiser, the counselor with whom MTNA collaborated to write this guide. "This collection of experiences can help or hinder us in our relationships with others, and ourselves, as well as in our professions.
"When it comes to teaching, the relationship is key," Keiser further explains. "Music teachers have several relationships: the relationship with the student, the relationship with the parents, and how music teachers and parents together encourage a positive relationship between the student and music."
