I have a student who has been slacking off a lot lately and doesn't come to his lessons prepared at all. I had to go through a horrible lesson with him the other day. He just says he forgets to work on reeds. He had two weeks to work on reeds and he came to the lesson without having one even scraped on. What should I do, he's been taking lessons from me for almost three years but I am not seeing any improvement. I tell him all the time how important it is to make reeds and practice. Last lesson he brought in a reed that measured out to around 65 in length!This was his only reed to play on and I refuse to make reeds for him, he has to learn. I just don't understand, should I contact the parents or let him go for awhile until he figures out if the oboe is a serious thing for him. It is beginning to waste my time and my advice is doing no good for him.
Extremely frustrated instructor
