Hi,

I remember a number of years ago I was spoonfed and coddled. Now I am on the
other side of the ball and am the teacher of music students. I am in my
second year at a high school as a director of bands. I also currently run a
studio with mostly high school students in clarinet.

Both in my classes and studio a number of my students so several things;

1) They come in unprepared for lessons.

2) They look for the quick fix

3) They often ask questions of things they can figure on their own.

One of my studio students has been through 4 different clarinet teachers in
5 years.

I need some help. I have tried training some learning skills, consistently,
but they seem to go back to old learning habits.
