That's what my mandolin teacher told me about 30 years ago, LOL. I was so horrible that he kept giving me lessons, but stopped charging me for them. I finally put the mandolin behind the sofa and put us both out of our misery.
On the other hand, my son's piano teacher called us in after about three lessons and said "you're wasting my time and your money giving this child lessons". He refused to practice Mary Had a Little Lamb. So we went home and he taught himself. He wanted to play "The Piano Man" and songs from Broadway musicals. Not Mary Had a Little Lamb. We would take him to see my older son on a show and he'd come home and pick out all the songs. By the next day, he could play them.
Your daughter is not thriving there. I'd move on.

My DD didn't want to sing foreign language songs (opera) but she stuck it out. She got a scholarship to sing with the university's opera company and turned it down.Her senior recital though was completely Broadway with lots of emotion and range. I was always telling her to open her mouth. I noticed the next year the voice teacher changed her program to half and half and the kids recitals were definately better and the kids looked so much happier and not strained as they sang
