Music teachers, let’s talk about imposter syndrome. 👀
As teachers and performers, it’s easy to let a great lesson, successful performance, difficult student, or unexpected mistake shape how we see ourselves. And if you’ve ever wrestled with imposter syndrome, you’re definitely not alone.
Join us for Identity and Musicianship: Reframing the Performance Self with Zachary Stoughton. This will be an engaging conversation about how we define ourselves as musicians—and how we can develop a more authentic, resilient, and multifaceted sense of self.
Together, we’ll explore:
✨ Healthy vs. unhealthy self-labels
✨ How we internalize “success” and “failure”
✨ Building a diverse identity portfolio beyond a single role or outcome
✨ Cultivating autonomy and resilience
✨ Practical strategies we can bring into both our teaching and performing lives
Because being a good musician—and a good teacher—is about so much more than getting everything right. Come explore what it means to bring your whole self to the piano, the lesson, and the performance. 🎶
