Case: Forgotten Instrument
Amelia refuses to bring her clarinet to school, despite daily reminders. Parent contact has not improved the situation. What are some ways to motivate Amelia to bring her clarinet? If those do not work, what are so ways to assess that knowledge is being learned? Should Amelia receive zeros for non-participation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest positive reinforcement. Offer something that she wants in return for her doing what she is supposed to do (bringing her clarinet to school). Give her something to do during class that is relatively boring for her, but will still enhance music for her. Maybe reading music. This should motivate her to bring her clarinet when she sees her friends playing their instruments and she is doing book work. |

Comments: These solutions are great ideas for how to solve this problem. Rewards can often do the trick, but I think sometimes there are other alternatives that teach the lesson to do what is right better than just giving students rewards. I really like the idea of having the student do something boring but still educational during the music lesson to hopefully encourage her to bring her instrument so she can have more fun and be able to participate. |

Comments: I would definitely use this solution, rewards often show results in children and then slowly take away the rewards as often and it'll be habit for her to bring her instrument. |

Comments: I agree and would do this myself. It's no fun reading music when everyone else gets to have fun with the instruments. |
