Sounds like a student I have. He is in 7th grade, aged 12, and has been studying with me for 2+ years. He is very very bright; in fact, he's told me multiple times he has a genius level IQ (I do too, so I can just say "so what" to him...cause it really doesn't matter).
He would come into lessons and sight-read them. His mom told me he rarely practiced, and his school band director doesn't have a clue he doesn't really practice either, based on his ability.
One day about 3 weeks ago I figured I had had it. I shoved Baermann III in front of him and made him sight read some of the exercises. I then took out Rose 32 and had him look at #1 & #2. After he had read some of the Baermann exercises, he said that it was "strangely fun." So I put a 7th grader in books I didn't touch until 10th grade (largely cause I didn't take lessons in 7th grade...).
Now he practices. His mom gave him the added threat of making him pay her back the $25 total for the 2 books if he didn't practice enough.
Stories from the trench...
