  2. Episode 180 - Dr. Stephanie Robertson - The Psychology of Directing Choral Music and Mental Health [part 2] (An A&C Curated Episode)

    6 AUG

    Episode 180 - Dr. Stephanie Robertson - The Psychology of Directing Choral Music and Mental Health [part 2] (An A&C Curated Episode)

    Earlier this year we started a little mini-series on avoiding burnout thanks to feedback we are hearing as part of ACDA’s Advocacy and Collaboration Standing Committee. The goal of these episodes is to provide our members and listeners with tools to avoid and overcome burnout - one of the leading causes to folks leaving our fabulous career. Part one, we talked about how to guard your time throughout different stages of your career. We continue that conversation in this episode, part two of two, where you’ll hear from Dr. Stephanie Robertson. We talk about the many tools and resources you can employ to manage your mental health - can’t wait to see which technique or tool you end up using to power through the fall! Stephanie Robertson, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Child Center for Wellbeing at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. She has worked in public schools, non-profit institutions, and higher education for over fifteen years, with a focus on the wellbeing and healthy development of children. She researches the impact of invisible disabilities and student access to education at secondary and post-secondary levels. Her husband, Troy Robertson, PhD, is the Director of Choirs at Tarleton. He conducts Tarleton’s five choral ensembles, teaches conducting and choral methods, and supervises clinical teachers. He is also a composer whose works are published with Hinshaw Music, Santa Barbara Music Press, Colla Voce, and Music Spoke. They make their home in Stephenville with their ten-year-old son, Winton.Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8lgoFPv3tAE The Music (ed) Matters Podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Perform International.
