Recording lessons with a student will often encourage them to practice more. When I am singing a piece in my voice lesson, I am more likely to focus on those things I consider bad instead of those I could/should be pleased with. Its easy to get discouraged when you are focusing on the negative. By comparing recordings at the beginning and end of a card-marking period or semester, the student will hear their progress or lack thereof. This way of looking at your performances encourages goal-oriented practice time.

My high school director recorded a piece we had worked on for two weeks for Back to School night for our parents to listen to. When the concert rolled around a month later people were astounded by the amount of growth the ensemble had made. It made the audience more excited about our performance. The same thing would work using these recordings in a one on one setting.
