In this episode of the Vibrant Music Teaching Podcast, Nicola Cantan discusses a unique perspective on what she calls “the good ones” – those students who are quiet, diligent, and well-behaved. Nicola explores how these "good" students often fly under the radar and might not get the same level of attention or adjustments to their learning approach that more demanding students do. Through her own childhood stories and experiences with the Colorful Keys team, she encourages music teachers to reflect on whether these students could benefit from more movement, new learning strategies, or simply more of the teacher’s active focus.
