Mom brings toddler to lessons

I teach two different groups in which a home school mom brings a toddler along to the lessons. Sometimes the toddler’s noise distracts me, and generally the toddler has mom’s attention, so the mom is unable to pay attention to the lesson and be the…

Life coaches for teenage students

Question about life coaches: adult students aren’t required to have one, I’m assuming, though it would admittedly help if they did, I’m sure. At what age does that happen? Just when they aren’t living at their parents’ house? There is a very responsible 16-year-old with…

Older students without life coach

  Hi Everyone, At what point do you allow students to come to classes without their parent? I have two students, brothers, ages 12 and 13 who are in level 7. Their parents are very supportive of the program and the process, but the dad…

Lesson plan with multiple streams

There’re so many great supplemental programs available even for Level 1 now. I start to feel that it is very tight during lessons to use some of those supplemental programs when we already have variations/arrangement, and composition/improvisation. I would really love to give the students…

This past week I had a horrid encounter. A parent, during class, was very rude, arrogant, and aggressive in his manner towards me and and SM program. He is usually in a group with other parents/kids, but this week he and his child were on…
