On this episode of the Rock School Proprietor Podcast, John Kozicki (Michigan Rock School and RockSchoolProprietor.com) and Mandy York (Music Time of Milford) discuss how our own expectations of students aren't always their expectations.  Reflecting on their own experiences as "weird" students, they challenge the assumption that every student learns the same way, and how most students do NOT think about private lessons like we (instructors) did as students ourselves.

In this episode:

John and Mandy explore the importance of understanding diverse student motivations and how varied expectations can impact both teaching and learning. Through engaging dialogue, they discuss why aligning expectations among students, parents, and instructors is crucial and share effective strategies to motivate and enrich every student's progress in learning music.
