I am terrified of rattlesnakes! So there I was, hiking in the bone-dry Texas canyon, keeping my eyes glued to the ground. All of a sudden, something caught my attention behind the bush up ahead. My heart stopped as I spotted an enormous bison blocking my path. A pissed-off bison, mind you… and it came charging at me! I quickly darted behind…Read More

  My main question after this prompt, even being familiar with your story, is “What does a bison have to do with burnout?” Is that what you’re looking for, or did you want to provoke a more substantive burnout-related discussion?

    I’ve gone back and forth on the prompt. Maybe it’s time for an experiment?

  I like this question as it is written: How a charging bison gave me a crash course on burnout.
  
  I see where Ruth is coming from that is might be more thought provoking. I think you should experiment with this one and see what happens.

  You have probably experimented by now… but what it tells me is that if a charging bison can teach you about burnout, I know I can ask you absolutely anything !

  It is an amazing concept.
  I would possibly open slightly differently.
  “There I was hiking in the bone-dry Texas canyon, keeping my eyes glued to the ground for rattlesnakes. Frankly, I am terrified of rattlesnakes! All of sudden….”
  While I love the line “what a bison taught me about burnout”, I get that a charging bison can teach you about str…Read More

1. TOPIC: The journey from beginner to performer
Whether you’re starting off on voice or another instrument, there are certain qualities you need in order to be comfortable and confident playing or singing in front of others. Even simple pieces in informal settings may cause anxiety or jitters.
Has this happened to you? What…Read More

  Your 4th topic – how you learned to play violin again after having a stroke – is inspiring. It sounds like a great title for a TEDx talk!

  I think the others can become clearer. Here is an example: 3. TOPIC: Making practice fun for children
  Nobody likes doing things they have to do. So it should be no surprise when children resist music practice. I have worked with —number of kids— over the —number of years—, what questions do you have for me about how music practice can be…Read More

  The 4 it is for me too – I did not have a stroke but I have not played the piano for decades. It is more difficult to play by ear. But my piano moved in to my new home, so I ll have to figure out how start again at some point 😉

    Look me up when you’re ready. Maybe I can give you some tips!

  #3 is fascinating to me. I remember getting guitar lessons but not really wanting to do them. I would have loved to have some exercises that encouraged me to pursue music.

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.
