When is it time to cut loose a song that a student is not making any progress on? I did it this week with the brother/sister duo who inspired this blog, and I have to say, it felt pretty good. I am sure it felt even better to them. Why should one song frustrate kids to the point they don't want to play? I'm pretty sure it was the wrong song at the wong time, and I'm willing to say that to the kids. Some I've picked, some they've picked, but no one is to blame. Certainly, we've learned from the experience, and that's good. But it's also good to take a step back, simplify, take a breather from what frustrates us.
