Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to the Confident Musicianing
Podcast.
My name is Eleanor and I am aBritish American oboist studying
at the Royal Conservatoire ofScotland Literally my dream
school and it took me a long wayto get there.
I applied and auditioned for 12schools in three different
countries.
It was a lot of hard work but,oh my gosh, so worth it.
(00:24):
I want you to have theconfidence to work hard in
achieving your goals, so comewith me as we go on this journey
together.
So sit down, pull up a chair,take a seat or, if you're on the
go, welcome to the ConfidentMusicianing Podcast.
Hello and welcome back.
(00:46):
Today we are diving intolearning things with
intentionality.
I have my tea with me and I'mready to get into this.
I was going to do this thismorning but the fire alarm in my
building went off and it wascrazy because, okay, I want to
share this with you because Iwoke up right and usually when I
(01:11):
wake up, like recently, I'vebeen snoozing my alarm, like I
have.
I have, I usually do and thismorning I woke up and I felt
energized, like I felt likerefreshed, energized, ready for
the day, and I thought I don'tthink I want to snooze my alarm.
So I didn't.
(01:32):
And then, 15 minutes after Iwoke up, the fire alarm went off
and I'm just like very gratefulthat I didn't snooze my alarm,
because that would have beenvery stressful.
I didn't snooze my alarmbecause that would have been
very stressful, and it was.
It was just a great way to, Isuppose, start the day with
gratitude, even though the firealarm did go off and I did have
to stand outside for like halfan hour before I could have my
(01:56):
coffee, which is like how, howdid I do that?
I don't know.
But I was grateful for the factthat I woke up at that time and
when the fire alarm went off, Iwas able to just leave, which
was great, and I went for a walkand then I came back and I was
able to be let back in, but theactual like alarm in parts of
(02:21):
the building were still going,even though they okayed us to go
back in.
So you could hear the alarm andI was like that's not how we
record, I don't want you to haveto hear that.
So it is now the afternoon abit, you know some change of
plans and we are recording.
We have our tea and, well, Ihave my tea, I don't know what,
(02:45):
if you have any beverage withyou.
But get cozy and let's diveinto this.
So this topic came about becauseI was I was in a class, I have
a class, I have a theory classand if anyone has done anything
with music theory, we all knowthat it can be very, very
(03:08):
confusing, very confusing.
And I've realized that there'skind of a thing with this class
where when I'm in the class I amconfused, I have no idea what
I'm doing, I don't, I'm likewhat's happening.
And then when I get home thingskind of make a bit more sense
sometimes.
But I have to definitely learnwith intentionality.
(03:30):
I feel like some classes wehave we can just kind of listen
to the lecture, learn things, um, and just it makes sense to us,
you know, and other classes itdoesn't make sense us, and we
kind of have to figure thingsout, and that's what it's like
with this theory class.
So I thought why not dosomething today talking about
(03:53):
kind of how I learnintentionally so that even when
the class itself is verydifficult, I'm still able to
learn and grow and be able to dothese things?
So let's dive in.
I have three points.
The first point asking all thequestions.
(04:15):
Now, this might seem obvious,of course, ask questions, but it
can feel very like stressful.
You know, if you are in a classand you know the teacher's like
any questions, and you havefive, you're like a bit stressed
out, you know.
You're like, oh you know, willpeople look at me, will people
(04:38):
judge me, will people think I,you know, don't know anything.
You might think you might feelstupid.
All of these things can kind ofgo into that and it might stop
you from asking questions.
I know in the past it stoppedme, probably in the future as
well.
But I found that when youactually ask the questions and
you kind of put aside that Isuppose imposter syndrome or
(05:02):
fear of looking weird, thingsmake sense, things start to make
more sense.
So, for instance, when I was inninth grade, which was a while
back now I was in a German classand my German class I was in
with the 10th graders, so I wasa year ahead in German and I
(05:26):
loved it.
I loved German.
I can speak German now, whichis great.
But there was a lot of stuffthat didn't make sense to me in
that German class me in thatGerman class and I asked so many
questions.
I really did, and I kind ofthat was a class where I kind of
I mean it was a smaller classso I didn't feel as
(05:46):
self-conscious, but I kind ofwas like you know what I love
German, you know, I love thislanguage, it's so fun, I love
learning languages in general.
I am going to ask all thequestions that I have so that I
am able to, you know, learn themost for me, not necessarily
like learn more than otherpeople, but like learn the most
that I can learn, you know.
And so that's what I did.
(06:09):
I asked so many questions and,you know, sometimes I did feel
stupid.
Sometimes I did feel stupid.
I feel like we all feel stupid,um, in our own, you know,
sometimes, in our in our own waysometimes.
But like I kind of, the more Iask questions, the more I got
(06:30):
over that feeling of likefeeling dumb and the more I was
like you know what?
This is just my, my growth.
I'm in this class, I'm here tolearn, I'm not here to be quiet,
you know, like I'm here tolearn.
And so when the teacher waslike any questions, I asked
questions and it made it so thatI was really good at German,
like I really learned a lot inthat class and I think you know
(06:54):
with theory as well.
I found the more I askquestions, the more I understand
and the more that I learn inthe class.
And another thing is right ifyou, if the class is difficult
and you have questions and youare nervous to ask those
questions, chances are someoneelse in that class is also
confused and also nervous to askthat question.
(07:18):
So they probably are secretlyvery grateful to you for asking
those questions, because theymight not have the courage to do
it themselves right, and thatis also amazing.
So ask questions.
Ask as many questions as youpossibly want to, and I mean ask
questions before class, afterclass, any questions you know.
(07:39):
Ask them.
Just don't be afraid to go forit, and that can help you learn
with intentionality.
The next thing is going home andreteaching the lesson to
understand it.
This is something that I havedone for so long and it's really
helped me.
I also do it because I learnlanguages in my free time.
I enjoy that and this is how Istudy languages as well.
(08:02):
So what I do right is I have awhiteboard and maybe some like
stuffed toys, right, and I teachthem, I teach them.
So I like I teach them thelesson that I learned.
So I'm like, okay, we're goingto go through it and I teach
them, I teach them.
So I like I teach them thelesson that I learned.
So I'm like, okay, we're gonnago through it and I just
basically reteach it to stuffedtoys, mainly because, um,
(08:27):
friends might not want to belike taught things every single
day.
You know what I mean.
Like stuffed toys will listento you, um, so I teach them.
And it might seem silly atfirst, but the thing is, when
you teach something, someone,something else, um, you learn it
(08:48):
as well.
It's kind of like, if you'reable to teach it, that means you
understand it.
So oftentimes when I teach somestuffed toys, I teach, I start
to teach, and then I'm like,hang on, wait, that doesn't make
sense.
Why doesn't that make sense?
And then I go to my notes and Ilook and maybe I write down
some questions to ask.
Maybe I don't find the answer,but sometimes I do and I'm like,
(09:08):
oh, I see, no, that, oh, youknow, okay, that makes sense.
And that gives me anopportunity to kind of go back
through my notes, explain,explain it and then see if in my
own understanding there's anyloopholes.
And then I either find you knowsomewhere to learn it, if it's
(09:40):
in, of whatever it is, becauseI've kind of gone through those
loopholes and I'm like, oh okay,I don't fully understand this,
what are my questions?
Where can I find the answers?
And it makes it so that I canlearn much better with
intentionality.
So for you, you might not have awhiteboard, you might not have
stuffed toys, maybe do it withpaper, maybe teach a friend or a
(10:04):
sibling if they want to Like.
Even like I, when I first movedto the UK I didn't have any
like stuffed toys or anything,except I had a Peppa Pig
keychain on my oboe.
I taught that Peppa Pigkeychain.
I put Peppa Pig it's a verytiny Peppa Pig keychain I put it
on the floor and I taught it.
(10:26):
And it felt kind of silly, butyou know it helped me understand
.
Like, teach anything, like Idon't know.
Teach an orange, an apple, putan apple on the floor and teach
it, whatever it is, teachsomething or someone, whatever
(10:47):
you're learning, and that canreally help you assess whether
you fully understand it.
Okay, the last thing not beingafraid to make the mistakes.
Mistakes.
We learn from our failures.
We learn from our failures.
This is really really kind ofimportant.
So let's go back to that ninthgrade German class.
(11:07):
Not only did I ask tons ofquestions, every single homework
assignment was covered in redpen.
Why?
Because I made mistakes.
I made a lot of mistakes and Iwrote down those mistakes and I
also wrote down explanationsnext to all of the mistakes.
And even if I didn't make amistake, maybe I still wrote
(11:29):
that explanation as to why I gotit right.
So if you go back and you see,I don't know how you would see
my ninth grade homeworkassignments.
I don't even know where theyare now.
But if we looked at my ninthgrade German homework
assignments, I guarantee you,because I remember it, they are
covered in red pen, red ink,everywhere.
(11:51):
If you look at my tests, theyare not, and that's something I
remember being in ninth gradeand being like huh, this is fun.
You know my homework is coveredin red, my tests are not.
Why?
Because I covered my homeworkin red because I was writing
explanations and I was writingdown you know what I got wrong
and how I can fix it, and blah,blah, blah, blah, blah.
(12:13):
And then I took that and Itaught stuffed toys and then
when I took tests, I understoodit OK.
So, yeah, don't be afraid tomake the mistakes, and I feel
like so for my theory class,right, I, we do stuff like
dictation.
So we listen to the teacherplay something on the piano or
(12:38):
plays a recording or something,and we have to write down what
we hear and I either get it veryright or very wrong and it's
it's like.
I mean, honestly, it's a bitannoying because you know if you
get one interval wrong, thenthe rest of the notes are wrong.
You know, if you say it's afourth and you write a fifth and
then you get the intervalsafter that, right, you still get
(13:03):
the notes wrong because they'reone up or one down I don't
remember what I said, but likethey're one off.
You know what I mean.
So a lot of times I am writing alot of red pen and I sometimes
feel self-conscious when youknow the teacher's giving out
the answer and I'm literallyscribbling, and maybe some of
the other students aren'tscribbling.
I kind of feel a little dumb.
(13:24):
I'm not going to lie, but atthe same time there's a way of
being like okay, well, now Ihave the answers Now I can study
it so it can feel there can beself-consciousness in it.
That makes sense.
But at the same time, it's howyou learn okay, and making
(13:47):
excuse me, making mistakes isimportant to growing.
If we never make mistakes, thenyou know we should probably not
be in that class, we shouldprobably be in a harder class.
So those are some three thingsthat I do intentionally to learn
intentionally.
Okay, and this is something thatI have been doing in my, in my
(14:11):
degree, at at my conservatoire,and there's a lot of other
things behind the scenes that I,you know, surprised me, that I
didn't realize it would be likethis at the conservatoire
there's a lot of fun things,there's a lot of stressful
things, there's a lot of justsurprising things I didn't, um
anticipate and I absolutely lovesharing these things with you
(14:33):
and kind of let having you stepinto the behind the scenes of my
conservatoire life.
You know what I mean, and sothere's a lot that I kind of
share behind the scenes.
Um, on the ConfidentMusicianing membership community
, you get access to so manythings Behind the scenes stuff
vlogs, weekly chatty videos,q&as, live streams, what else?
(14:59):
How-to videos for music makingand oboe playing practice with
me, videos where you can see howI prepare for specific things
in the practice room.
All of these things areavailable in the Confident
Musicianing Membership community.
So if that sounds likesomething that you're like you
know what, I kind of want to seewhat that's all about.
(15:19):
Please do click the link in thedescription in the show notes
it is there and and take a look,because it is a good, it's like
good fun.
It is fun over there.
All right, let's do a quickrecap.
The first thing asking all thequestions.
Don't be afraid to ask all thequestions.
That is perfectly fine.
The next thing going home andreteaching it.
(15:42):
Right, I use a whiteboard andstuffed toys.
You can use a blackboard and Idon't know.
Use a whiteboard and stuffedtoys.
You can use a blackboard and Idon't know water bottles, like
whatever you want.
Um, just to reteach it tounderstand where the loopholes
in your own understanding mightbe.
And the last thing is not beingafraid to make mistakes.
We talked about the comparisonbetween my ninth grade german
(16:04):
homework assignments, which werecovered in red pen, versus my
tests, which weren't, because Iweren't wasn't afraid to make
mistakes and to correct them andlearn from them.
All right, I hope that this washelpful.
In whatever class you have,that's difficult.
Learning with intentionality isso, so, so helpful.
All right, that is about it forthis episode.
(16:25):

Hello and welcome back.
(00:46):
Today we are diving intolearning things with
intentionality.
I have my tea with me and I'mready to get into this.
I was going to do this thismorning but the fire alarm in my

We have our tea and, well, Ihave my tea, I don't know what,
(02:45):
if you have any beverage withyou.
But get cozy and let's diveinto this.

So let's dive in.
I have three points.
The first point asking all thequestions.
(04:15):
Now, this might seem obvious,of course, ask questions, but it
can feel very like stressful.
You know, if you are in a classand you know the teacher's like
any questions, and you havefive, you're like a bit stressed
out, you know.
You're like, oh you know, willpeople look at me, will people
(04:38):
judge me, will people think I,you know, don't know anything.
You might think you might feelstupid.
All of these things can kind ofgo into that and it might stop
you from asking questions.
I know in the past it stoppedme, probably in the future as

But I found that when youactually ask the questions and
you kind of put aside that Isuppose imposter syndrome or

And so when the teacher waslike any questions, I asked
questions and it made it so thatI was really good at German,
like I really learned a lot inthat class and I think you know
(06:54):
with theory as well.
I found the more I askquestions, the more I understand

And another thing is right ifyou, if the class is difficult
and you have questions and youare nervous to ask those

(07:18):
So they probably are secretlyvery grateful to you for asking

This is something that I havedone for so long and it's really

I also do it because I learnlanguages in my free time.
I enjoy that and this is how Istudy languages as well.
(08:02):
So what I do right is I have awhiteboard and maybe some like
stuffed toys, right, and I teachthem, I teach them.
So I like I teach them thelesson that I learned.
So I'm like, okay, we're goingto go through it and I teach
them, I teach them.
So I like I teach them thelesson that I learned.
So I'm like, okay, we're gonnago through it and I just
basically reteach it to stuffedtoys, mainly because, um,
(08:27):
friends might not want to belike taught things every single

You know what I mean.
Like stuffed toys will listento you, um, so I teach them.
And it might seem silly atfirst, but the thing is, when

And it makes it so that I canlearn much better with
intentionality.
So for you, you might not have awhiteboard, you might not have
stuffed toys, maybe do it withpaper, maybe teach a friend or a
(10:04):
sibling if they want to Like.
Even like I, when I first movedto the UK I didn't have any
like stuffed toys or anything,except I had a Peppa Pig
keychain on my oboe.
I taught that Peppa Pigkeychain.
I put Peppa Pig it's a verytiny Peppa Pig keychain I put it
on the floor and I taught it.
(10:26):
And it felt kind of silly, butyou know it helped me understand
.
Like, teach anything, like Idon't know.
Teach an orange, an apple, putan apple on the floor and teach
it, whatever it is, teachsomething or someone, whatever
(10:47):
you're learning, and that canreally help you assess whether
you fully understand it.
Okay, the last thing not beingafraid to make the mistakes.
Mistakes.
We learn from our failures.
We learn from our failures.
This is really really kind ofimportant.
So let's go back to that ninthgrade German class.
(11:07):
Not only did I ask tons ofquestions, every single homework
assignment was covered in redpen.
Why?
Because I made mistakes.
I made a lot of mistakes and Iwrote down those mistakes and I
also wrote down explanationsnext to all of the mistakes.
And even if I didn't make amistake, maybe I still wrote
(11:29):
that explanation as to why I gotit right.
So if you go back and you see,I don't know how you would see
my ninth grade homeworkassignments.
I don't even know where theyare now.
But if we looked at my ninthgrade German homework
assignments, I guarantee you,because I remember it, they are
covered in red pen, red ink,everywhere.
(11:51):
If you look at my tests, theyare not, and that's something I
remember being in ninth gradeand being like huh, this is fun.
You know my homework is coveredin red, my tests are not.
Why?
Because I covered my homeworkin red because I was writing
explanations and I was writingdown you know what I got wrong
and how I can fix it, and blah,blah, blah, blah, blah.
(12:13):
And then I took that and Itaught stuffed toys and then
when I took tests, I understoodit OK.
So, yeah, don't be afraid tomake the mistakes, and I feel
like so for my theory class,right, I, we do stuff like
dictation.
So we listen to the teacherplay something on the piano or
(12:38):
plays a recording or something,and we have to write down what
we hear and I either get it veryright or very wrong and it's
it's like.
I mean, honestly, it's a bitannoying because you know if you
get one interval wrong, thenthe rest of the notes are wrong.
You know, if you say it's afourth and you write a fifth and
then you get the intervalsafter that, right, you still get
(13:03):
the notes wrong because they'reone up or one down I don't
remember what I said, but likethey're one off.
You know what I mean.
So a lot of times I am writing alot of red pen and I sometimes
feel self-conscious when youknow the teacher's giving out
the answer and I'm literallyscribbling, and maybe some of
the other students aren'tscribbling.
I kind of feel a little dumb.
(13:24):
I'm not going to lie, but atthe same time there's a way of
being like okay, well, now Ihave the answers Now I can study
it so it can feel there can beself-consciousness in it.
That makes sense.
But at the same time, it's howyou learn okay, and making
(13:47):
excuse me, making mistakes isimportant to growing.
If we never make mistakes, thenyou know we should probably not
be in that class, we shouldprobably be in a harder class.
So those are some three thingsthat I do intentionally to learn
intentionally.
Okay, and this is something thatI have been doing in my, in my
(14:11):
degree, at at my conservatoire,and there's a lot of other
things behind the scenes that I,you know, surprised me, that I
didn't realize it would be likethis at the conservatoire
there's a lot of fun things,there's a lot of stressful
things, there's a lot of justsurprising things I didn't, um
anticipate and I absolutely lovesharing these things with you
(14:33):
and kind of let having you stepinto the behind the scenes of my
conservatoire life.
You know what I mean, and sothere's a lot that I kind of
share behind the scenes.
Um, on the ConfidentMusicianing membership community

All right, let's do a quickrecap.
The first thing asking all thequestions.
Don't be afraid to ask all thequestions.
That is perfectly fine.
The next thing going home andreteaching it.
(15:42):
Right, I use a whiteboard andstuffed toys.
You can use a blackboard and Idon't know.
Use a whiteboard and stuffedtoys.
You can use a blackboard and Idon't know water bottles, like
whatever you want.
Um, just to reteach it tounderstand where the loopholes
in your own understanding mightbe.
And the last thing is not beingafraid to make mistakes.
We talked about the comparisonbetween my ninth grade german
(16:04):
homework assignments, which werecovered in red pen, versus my
tests, which weren't, because Iweren't wasn't afraid to make
mistakes and to correct them andlearn from them.
All right, I hope that this washelpful.
In whatever class you have,that's difficult.
Learning with intentionality isso, so, so helpful.
All right, that is about it forthis episode.
