Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

[kat727]

I thought I would throw in my 02 on the music lessons. My daughter(10) is taking flute lessons. They were kind of hard for her at first so she learned somethings on the recorder. When I mentioned to her that I didn't think I would keep paying for lessons because she isn't learning the flute she hopped right back onto the flute and is doing better. I am not a drill sargent about practice. I remind her but she knows the time she did or didn't practice will show in her lessons and she won't get as many sticker rewards if it wasn't much time. When she tells me she is done, fine.

Music should be for joy not punishment. There will be times when they won't always love it because it can be hard work, but if it really is for them, they will come back when they are ready. Hope that helps some.
