Summary: Each student is different, which means each course of action needs to be different, each lesson needs to be different, and expectations need to be different. Get to know your student as a person so that you can understand more about what will be effecting their singing. An important thing to remember is that you were once an unknowing student too! Help them learn how to learn to sing! It is important to apply your knowledge of mechanics and historical context, but if they don't learn how to learn these things, they won't progress outside of your office.
Key Terms:
Key Concepts: Each student is different. Period.
Making Connections: I don't love teaching yet, because I'm too worried I'll mess up. I do love to sing though, and I think that is what I need to start focusing on with my students. It's their choice whether or not they come into the lesson and learn something, so I shouldn't get hung up worrying about if I'll botch it or not. No, my job is to provide my students with the best I can do that day, and show them just how much I love doing what I do. Knowledge on how to teach will take time just like learning how to sing
