I think it's important to give and take with your students when getting them to practice... Start out giving them something that they neccessarily wouldn't pick off hand, one of the "italian hits" for example, and do your best to make them understand that it is important that they have a well rounded literature list to be a well rounded musician, but also get to know your students and find something that they would want to work on, a jazz piece or musical therater peice... All types of music have thier place, time, and techniqual skills that students can learn... And when they understand the music, enjoy what they are singing/playing, and see the imporatance in it, they are more likly to be self motivated...

There have been some good points brought up in this discussion, I just have a different point to consider. Sometimes it goes beyond the actual music... Show students that YOU are motivated with their goals in mind, and they may be more motivated to achieve those goals. Students usually look up to their teachers, especially early on. Being a good model for the students meaning being prepared, having a plan, and being motivated yourself can also give you some credit.
