The Cognitive Benefits Of Taking Band Class In High School

The Cognitive Benefits Of Taking Band Class In High School

Everyday Leadership - Ted Talk

We have all changed someone’s life — usually without even realizing it. In this funny talk, Drew Dudley calls on all of us to celebrate leadership as the everyday act of improving each other’s lives.   Our goal every day in band should be to have "lollypop" moments.  (watch video to find out what this means!)

Get over the peer pressure, get over the fear. I know that every person in band is capable of leadership.  Band should be a place where every member is a leader.  Band is a place where we demonstrate, acknowledge, appreciate and pay forward those acts of leadership.  
"we've made leadership about changing the world, and there is no world. There's only six billion understandings of it, and if you change one person's understanding of it, one person's understanding of what they're capable of, one person's understanding of how much people care about them, one person's understanding of how powerful an agent for change they can be in this world, you've changed the whole thing. "

Great leaders make you feel safe

What makes a great leader? Management theorist Simon Sinek suggests, it’s someone who makes their employees feel secure, who draws people into a circle of trust. But creating trust and safety — especially in High School — means taking on big responsibility.
