015 TSP Asking the Right Questions

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode of the Teach Suzuki podcast, I discuss the art of asking the right questions to avoid a student’s (or other listener’s) natural resistance to being told what to do in a teaching or home practice situation. There are many different questioning styles, and this episode looks in depth at the 4 basic types and explains why one particular questioning style is more effective than the others. Have a listen and see if you can add this art of asking the right questions to your teaching and parenting toolbag.
