Is struggle a requirement for success? In today’s episode, we unpack a deeply ingrained belief in music education—and beyond—that says, because I struggled, you should too. From extreme examples like Whiplash to subtle teaching habits, we explore how this mindset impacts students, the role of grit, and why making things unnecessarily difficult might actually be exclusionary. Instead of reinforcing outdated traditions, how can we empower students with smarter, more effective learning strategies? Let’s rethink the struggle bus and make music education more inclusive, engaging, and fun. 🚀🎶
