Yes, it certainly is a two-way street. I try to make it clear to students
on the front end that the reason they are taking lessons is to learn to be
their own voice teacher. We also do goal setting and talk about what their
responsibilities are in the process. If we lose sight of these things
during the semester, we refresh our memories. My students know that I expect
a lot of them, and of course, some students don't come to my studio for that
very reason, but that's fine with me.
