While a student might have a perfectly good sense of rhythm, a nice ear, and know their notes by heart, handing them a scale pattern and saying “Go ahead, I’ll play the chords, you take a solo!” can be confusing or just overwhelming. What a student needs at this early stage is a real practical example. They need to hear what the notes they have learned can do! And that’s what you’re there for.
