 Re: Student that won't practice reeds

Just out of curiosity, has this student ever made good reeds before or even played any good reeds before? I know that sometimes I get in a rut and I bring in a bunch of reeds that aren't that great to my lesson just to show I've put some effort in, but I give up because I get discouraged that nothing's turning out. However, as soon as I try a couple of my teacher's reeds, I always come to the next lesson with great reeds because I know what I can attain if I work hard and I know what a good reed feels like.

Does this student really know what a good reed will feel like if he makes one? If he doesn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, then that may be why he's not motivated to work at it. I'm not suggesting that you give him reeds, but at least let him try some of yours so he can see for himself what he's missing.
