Good point, Hayley. We actually talked about this in my Leadership class. We discussed what motivates boys vs. what motivates girls. We all sort of collectively came to decide that males may respond better to "harshness" from an instructor, while females may find this offensive and, like Hayley expressed, want to quit. I find that that is true for me, also. We decided that girls usually respond better to positive feedback and gentle constructive criticism. I know in my private lessons, the more I get "yelled at" (no professor REALLY yells, but we always say that!), the more I get discouraged. But if it's a slight nudge, just a bit of constructive criticism and I feel like it has been said in order to REALLY make me a better musician, then I am more than happy to march right up to the practice room and fix whatever it may be.
