How do you tell the story of your work?

I am deep into the power of storytelling at the moment, and I mean deep. I am simultaneously reading and/or listening to books by Steven Bartlett (The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws for Buisness and Life) and Tara Swart (The Source), completing courses by Ben Crowe (MojoCrowe) and basically inhaling every episode every recorded of The Imperfects podcast with Hugh van Cuylenburg, Ryan Shelton and Josh van Cuylenburg.

As humans, we are built on stories. The stories we were told, or told ourselves, when we were young, carry through to our adulthood. We share wisdom through stories, and we teach through stories. While I am currently enjoying being in this ball pit of exquisite human development with these books, courses and podcasts for my development, I have been asking myself this question – how do we as music teachers tell the story of our work?
