At the end of each lesson, our teachers ask their students a critical question: “What would you like to accomplish for next week?” How a Vision Funnel Helps Us Achieve Goals CREATE THE FUTURE YOU WANT It isn’t just a habit; it’s part of the goal-setting process at MnSOM. Setting goals is vital to success in any part of our lives, especially in music, because concrete goals drive us to keep moving forward and growing. At MnSOM, we help our students set goals with a Vision Funnel, a goal-setting strategy inspired by author Dave Ramsey. START WITH A DREAM. Everything we do in life starts with a dream, like “I want to play piano,” or “I want to be an author.” That dream motivates us to study music lessons or take creative writing classes. We want to achieve something, so we must work to make it a reality. DISTILL YOUR DREAM INTO A VISION. While dreams can inspire us, they’re often too vague. When you have a dream, it’s essential to distill it into a clear vision to create a plan. Give your dream details. For example, “I want to play piano” can become “I want to be a classical pianist.” When you recognize the specifics of your dream, making decisions to help you pursue it is easier. WRITE DOWN TANGIBLE GOALS. Once you identify your vision, break it into smaller, tangible goals you can pursue to achieve that vision. These goals need to be specific and measurable. For example, “I want to write a book” is vague and open-ended. A tangible goal might be: “I will write a YA short story and submit it to publications before December 2023.” Once you determine your tangible goals, physically write them down and put them somewhere you’ll see every day. Regularly remind yourself of your goals to reinvigorate your motivation. Adults and children can use this strategy to set meaningful goals that inspire them to follow through. As parents of music students, you can help your child make the most of their education by asking them to dream about the future and distill those dreams into visions and tangible goals. They’ll feel proud of their accomplishments and more likely to make music a lifelong endeavor.
