Advice for working w/ younger players? ++

Author: Ashley91489

I'm working w/ a student now (going into her 3rd year playing as a 9th grader) and she is a very timid player, plays very soft and reserved. What is a good way to get her to play out confidently and expressively? I feel like she is capable of playing challenging music w/ practice and I will be working w/ her on Jr. High all state audition music.

Any advice in general for teaching and preparing? Are there any good methods for having her learn scales? She currently knows most of the major scales one octave but she will need to know two for the auditions.

Any other tips and info would be greatly appreciated as well.
