Teacher Training: Preach! Inspired Teacher Training

Stop “teaching” and start “inspiring!” Become certified in the Tribe Method, created and taught by Bronwen Beecher.

About The Event

Through one weekend intensive, Bronwen Beecher will share with you the method she created after over twenty-five years of teaching. If you see your student walking to your door and feel anything but excitement or delight you need this course.  This fun and diverse weekend is all about creating inspiration and fulfillment in passing on the magic of music. Imagine what kind of teacher you will be when you are inspired and enjoying the process!

The Tribe Method is broken down into 5 principles which will be presented through discussions, role-playing, and games. By focussing on our own enjoyment and fulfillment in teaching we can become more authentic and impactful teachers for our students. Music is magical and it should be passed on in a magical way.

The Tribe Method is a student-driven approach to learning. Here your soul will be embraced by compassionate instructors who are trained to listen to you and adapt their teaching to you. Your dreams and desires take center stage in your musical journey here.

The pillars of the Tribe Teaching Method are Be Inspired, Be Perfect, Be Psychic, Be a Coyote, and Be a kook! The fundamental Tribe Method Teacher Training is presented in a weekend 9 hour intensive. Teachers often have the opportunity to shadow Bronwen or other Tribe teachers to see just how different lessons typically are from one student to the next and to learn the art of community creation by teaching all levels, all ages, all instrument group events in a fun and effective way.

• BE Perfect
  This concept is about reframing the idea of “perfection” that is all too common in music education.
• BE a Psychic
  This is where teachers learn to understand their students’ needs, dreams, and desires, even when they are not recognized by the students, themselves!
• BE a Coyote
  You’ll have to join a teacher training to find out about this one!
• BE a Kook
  Life is better when it’s at least a little kooky and music is, too. Music mastery is a lifelong journey and if it’s TOO serious, it’s easy to stray from the reason we started music in the first place.

Tribe teachers are all trained and certified in the Tribe Method. Their training includes inspiring their own selves. We can’t expect a student to stay inspired if we can’t keep ourselves inspired! It’s not always easy to customize a musical journey with every student, especially if the student is very different from us. This is another process covered in their training. Bronwen uses traditional teaching methods along with psychology principles, life coaching techniques, peer interactive games, role-playing, and more to cover those elements and much more!
