Hi, how would you enthuse students about repertoire for which they show little natural affinity?
If they are intimidated, I will typically spend more time on aural learning. By playing sections for the student to imitate, the piece becomes more accessible. With the little ones I will encourage more practice with stickers, so even if they don’t like the piece initially, they enjoy the sticker collecting. I will work by the phrase so there is a feeling of accomplishment more quickly.
Thanks, its a good idea.
