 Student makes progress in lessons, hardly ever practices
Author: Meri 
Date:   2006-01-20 17:58

I have a student who is 10, who makes reasonable progress in lessons, but hardly ever practices, and the parents don't believe in quitting music lessons. (her two sisters also take lessons, on violin and flute respectively, they are at Grade 6 RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) violin and Grade 4 flute). She is at lesson 20 in the Galper Clarinet Method, and she's been studying for 9 months, has a fine tone throughout her range, though her right hand positioning is a little questionable. She is rewarded for the weeks she does practice, but her mom and I are at our wit's end at having her do it, without physical rewards and doing it consistently, even though she enjoys the lessons. She's also in a gifted French Immersion program at school.

Any ideas that you know that might help?
