  • After only 3 lessons at the Baton Rouge Conservatory, students typically see these results:
    1 – More confidence trying new things (even beyond music)👊
    2 – More ease in hearing and echoing different tunes and rhythms 🙌
    3 – Increased physical comfort while singing or playing 🫶

    If you are currently experiencing any of these symptoms:

    • @ruthviolincox-net love this! I do think that if you said this in line one in first set it would help frame “beyond music”: More confidence trying out new skills and activities (even beyond music). thoughts?

      • Yes, wonderful! Trying to keep it succint–does my solution (trying new things) works to encompass skills and activities or just make it sound vague?

  • Hi everyone! I’ve been catching up offline on the Turning Point Stories. Here’s mine. (I left in the step by step prompts in this first draft). The photo included is from my first Valentine’s with my husband one million years ago, when he helped lay out a framework for a little joy in our lives. I’d love your comments!…Read More

    • Beth – this is beautiful. I love the part about how your studio continues to reflect the values that are important to you. I also love that you ask others to chime in and share what the studio means to them? It is great as is – and if you want to make it even stronger, I suggest outlining 3 values of the studio very clearly, so people don’t have…Read More

    • HI Beth, Great story & set of twists & turns. I do feel like the emotional content could be turned up a little more.

    • Update: I used this turning point story in a grant application, and I’m a finalist for their top grant award! Kudos to this process – working through this story with Amy, Shannon and feedback received made a huge difference.

  • I had to write an Origin Story for my speaker profile. I’m sharing it below. This is more than sufficient for my purposes, and I have no intention of lengthening my story using this month’s template. So I’ll be bowing out of the remainder of this month’s sessions. . . Have fun!

    Have you ever felt like you were running on fumes, but didn’t…Read More

    • This works well for your website and social posts. I do think it lacks emotion. The only emotion is the burnout.
      You mention Joy and simplicity of being on the road, but you haven’t painted a true picture of what that looks like. You are just telling me, which makes it impossible for me to actually see. That last sentence needs more, otherwise…Read More

    • I like all the travel and adventure language (running on fumes/empty, climb, brink, etc.) I agree with Amy about wanting more details on the sunny side of things.

      The second paragraph of your post (starting with “But”) might read “But after 18 months of working from home, I was running on empty. I found myself back where I started, on the brink…Read More
