Inspiring through mentoring: Joanna Kaczorowska at TEDxSBU

In this TEDx talk Joanna Kaczorowska talks about how great mentors and their love of music affected her and her life's path. As a classically trained violinist she analyzes various types of mentorship that inspired her on different levels of her education.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This incredible TEDx talk on mentorship should go out to every music teacher for inspiration! The beginning is my favorite part, but this talk is worth every minute. Bravo!

amazing violinist, amazing professor, and amazing mentor! i canceled my spring break plans to practice my piece every day with my pianist, just as you instructed me to, and it resulted in my own breakthrough performance..... on a BRAHMS SONATA. and that is only a mere glimpse into what you did for me in those four amazing years. thank you thank you thank you !

Mentoring does help us just pick up the instrument and tell us how to use it. Mentors not only help us with our skills, but they set up a role model for us to follow.
