Trauma-Informed Piano Pedagogy: The Power to Transform
This session will introduce strategies from Trust-Based Relational Intervention®, an attachment-based, evidenced-based, trauma-informed, neuroscience researched therapy model for at risk children which focuses on building connections. Would you like to see sustainable, lasting change in your studio? How do you distinguish misbehavior from a fear-based response? How can you regulate the brain, and empower you and your students? Come and discover practical strategies trauma-informed pedagogy has to offer.
