1 Identify the reason

The first step is to find out why your student is not attending lessons. Is it because of scheduling conflicts, financial issues, lack of interest, personal problems, or something else? Try to communicate with your student and understand their perspective. Be empathetic and respectful, but also firm and clear about your expectations and policies. Don't assume that they are lazy or disrespectful, but don't let them off the hook either.

In my experience, I have learned that students motivation to attend class or skip is often associated with how comfortable they feel in the classroom. It is often less to do with content of the course. Students would attend lessons if the environment is welcoming and they feel safe and respected. In my early years of teaching, I worried so much about lesson delivery and less about the classroom environment. The students followed the lessons but now looking back with the eyes of experience, I realize how difficult it must have been for them. Today, I focus more on creating a classroom environment where students can engage continuously. I love what I see, and it is far from the perfect lessons I was creating in my early years of teaching.

2 Offer solutions

Once you know the reason, you can offer some possible solutions to your student. For example, if they are having trouble with their schedule, you can suggest some alternative times or days for their lessons. If they are struggling with money, you can offer some payment plans or discounts. If they are losing interest, you can ask them what kind of songs or genres they want to learn or explore. If they are dealing with personal issues, you can offer some support or referrals. The goal is to show them that you care about their progress and success, and that you are willing to work with them to overcome their challenges.

In my experience, students who know the teacher is advocating for their success often open up and share what they are struggling with in a manner that makes it easier for the teacher to help them. The teacher should encourage students to speak about what is hindering them. An open discussion with students can open the door for understanding how to support them.

3 Set boundaries

While you want to be flexible and supportive, you also need to set some boundaries and consequences for your student. You can't let them cancel or skip lessons without any notice or penalty. You need to establish and enforce your cancellation policy, and remind your student of the importance of commitment and consistency. You can also set some goals and milestones for your student, and track their progress and feedback. You can use some rewards and incentives to motivate them, such as praise, certificates, or showcases. But you also need to be honest and direct with them if they are not meeting your standards or expectations.

It is important to set clear expectations for the students in regards to what is required of them with regard to attending for lessons. The students should know the consequences of missing classes. The teacher should provide an avenue for the students to reach the teacher if they need to be excused from class.

4 Re-evaluate the relationship

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, a student may not attend lessons for a long time, or may not show any improvement or interest. In that case, you may need to re-evaluate the relationship and decide whether it is worth continuing or not. You may have to end the contract or refer the student to another coach. This may be a difficult decision, but it may be better for both of you in the long run. You don't want to waste your time and energy on a student who is not serious or compatible with you. You want to focus on the students who are eager and willing to learn from you.

5 Prevent future problems

Finally, you can prevent future problems by screening your potential students and setting clear expectations from the start. You can ask them about their goals, preferences, availability, and budget. You can explain your teaching style, methods, and policies. You can also ask for some references or testimonials from your previous or current students. This way, you can attract and select the students who are a good fit for you, and avoid the ones who are not. You can also build a rapport and trust with your students, and communicate with them regularly. You can also ask for feedback and suggestions from your students, and improve your service and skills accordingly.
