Select all the examples of resilience in band class

• Applying strategies to navigate with your music in the moment and not let your emotions and your thoughts paralyze you from being who you truly are

• Embracing the struggle and trying again and again, becoming an unstoppable force where quitting is simply not the person you choose to be

• Treating yourself with kindness, as you would treat a friend, especially when your mind is being cruel and telling you things you would never say to anyone else who is learning music

• Letting go of the idea and the concept of mistakes and focusing on the improvements - It’s a huge waste of time and energy to dwell on mistakes
