I think that a good way to motivate students to practice is to find music that the student likes. When I have to learn a song in band, choir, or any kind of lesson if I like the song then I'll practice but if I'm not playing anything I like then I don't really want to learn it. Find something that has a fun melody or something that's really pretty I think that would make it easier to practice.

Well what about those pieces that students have to learn? You know, "the classics." I know that for me, there was a set of Italian arias that I was "supposed" to have seen/worked on before college. They're the soprano "classics." I am sure there are some of those for all instruments. How do we get students to practice those which they may not like? And what about other languages? I know I hate singing in German but it's part of being a singer. I have to work extra hard and practice more on the things that are harder for me... So how would we get our students to do the same even if they may not like the piece they are learning...?

Maybe give the student an incentive, or if someone in the area is performing that piece or one similar to it, take them to see it. It might inspire the student to want to be better at the song. An example of an icentive would be to tell the student if they learn the song well and perform it well, they will be able to pick the next piece to work on.
