Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

1. My working EQ is how can music instruction best be used to increase personal potential into adulthood?

2. Teachers who use positive reinforcement, but always making the children feel like they can do better will have the best outcome not only in their classes but also in the child's future. 

3. The best source for my working EQ answer has been watching the children myself but also from the book "Your Child's Strengths: Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them" by Jenifer M. Fox. She talks about the reverse power of praise, what works and what doesn't when praising a child when their good at something.

4. I'm working with young kids from age 5 to 14 and this helps me answer my EQ by seeing them flourish in their singing classes, in their personal encounters, and how they feel about themselves as they become better or have difficulties with solo and choir songs.
