Transformational piano teaching - mentoring students from all walks of life

Transformational Piano Teaching: Mentoring Students from All Walks of Life examina o conceito do professor de piano como alguém que é mais do que apenas um professor de uma habilidade musical, mas também alguém que exerce uma tremenda influência no desenvolvimento do potencial artístico e empático de um jovem , bem como sua estrutura de motivação pessoal ao longo da vida.
Os atributos específicos dos alunos de hoje são explorados, incluindo as influências familiares e de pares, desde relacionamentos interpessoais até mídias sociais.
Além disso, alunos de circunstâncias específicas são discutidos, incluindo aqueles com necessidades especiais, como Transtornos do Espectro do Autismo, TDAH e Depressão. Por fim, a motivação dos alunos de um professor está relacionada à própria motivação do professor em seu trabalho, pois um ciclo de positividade e realização será recomendado como forma de manter o trabalho do professor sempre novo e estimulante.
