They Should Know Better
A daughter of a friend of mine has just gone to a new secondary school and was having her first clarinet lesson with her new teacher. This thirteen year old girl is a music scholar and very gifted on the clarinet. And yet this teacher decided to tell her that her technique isn’t very good and criticised her playing. Funnily enough, this young musician doesn’t much feel like playing her clarinet now – she is really demotivated.
Why do people in positions like that think that they are going to get the most from a young person by criticising them before they have built a relationship with them?
