I can relate to Beth's earlier post being somewhat morose because she had just dealt with a difficult student for an hour. I do find that students aren't like they were even 10 years ago (in a general sense). There are many more missed lessons. Also, I am seeing more and more students who really don't know what a committment is.
Dear People,
I relate greatly to the above statement. I want to make a difference in a student's life and help them grow. I make a committment to them and yet, get so much jostling from them. This particular student is only 15 and she has been with me for three years. Great contemporary voice, but she has started to really hurt her voice with some technique she has picked up (not form me I tell you now) and I am trying to tell her that she is in danger. I finally said "You don't beleive me do you?" and she said "no". So, where to from here? Ethically, I feel responsible and also dont want to be taking money for nothing. And she really is in danger. She tries to sing notes that are well and truly in her range and nothing comes out! This is serious stuff. Thanks for listening,
Beth C
