Today, in choir class, Mr. Polluck did a lot of different warm ups. He wanted to make sure people were actually attempting to improve on different aspects of their singing. He wants us to practice better diction, tone, dynamics, etc. Many of the kids in my class sounded the same as they did a couple weeks ago, meaning either that they didn't try to improve, or they need further instruction. I think people in my choir class need to listen to what Mr. Polluck says more intently because he definitely knows what he is talking about. He is just trying to making us a better choir overall.
He does exactly what athletic coaches do. You can have the best professor or coach, but when students throw up a wall made of laziness and indifference, it is almost impossible to penetrate it. Often, students like you (when you're in your motivation mode) have more clout influencing other students than great teachers like Mr. P
