True to teacher form, I *LOVE* the opportunity to “talk shop” with groups of colleagues.
A Christina Whitlock presentation always includes my trademark enthusiasm, interactive elements, as well as solutions honed over the last 24+ years of my independent teaching career.
Previous National Conference Sessions include:
- The Varsity Musician’s Playbook: Commitment-Building Strategies from Team Sports to the Studio
- Presented at the 2016 MTNA National Conference
- Adult Students: Playing for Keeps
- Presented at 2017 MTNA National Conference
- Making it Work: 21 Tactics for Successful Supplemental Group Classes
- Presented at 2019 MTNA National Conference
I also have multiple session ideas racing through my brain at any given time. Additional topics of interest – which could easily find themselves in a presentation include:
- Honoring the teaching profession
- Positive communication strategies
- Reflection exercises for healthier independent studios
- Coping strategies for anxious students (and anxious teachers)
- The teacher-student relationship
- Fostering satisfying relationships with your studio families
