As we delve into growth mindset and the art and science of teaching music, it's a good idea to discuss an important concept: projection.

In this episode we take time to define it with a lot of examples. Then we talk about how negative projection can easily make its way into our day-to-day mood when teaching, our mannerisms and our teaching methods and prompts.

It's a pretty deep topic that requires some honest introspection in yourself, but the benefits can be extremely rewarding to your personal outlook on your career and your student retention rates

Here is the source for some of our early discussion in this episode: Projection, from Psychology Today.
