Episode Synopsis "Episode 6: Addressing Musician's Mental Health with Heidi Schaul-Yoder"

This conversation with violinist, music educator, yoga instructor, and therapist Heidi Schaul-Yoder was a fantastic deep dive into topics we never discuss in relation to music education and conservatory training. We talked about anxiety, stress, and musical education, and how educators can create a better, safer learning environment for students. We also discussed how to separate music from your value as a person, how trauma affects our bodies and learning, and so much more.
