[quote=Anonymous]My 15 y/o DS has been taking piano lessons for 9 years. He is phenomenal. I know all parents are proud of their kids, but my DS truly is amazing. Currently he's working on Chopin's Etude Op.25, No. 11 (Winter Wind). He can play anything his teacher sets in front of him. His talent amazes everyone! But he wants to quit! He's in high school now. It's a pretty challenging school (that he loves--he refers to school as his 'happy place'). He plays Euphonium in band, which he could take or leave. He has piano lessons at a local (and very reputable) University once a week. He wants to wrestle and run track next year--which he could do and take piano. But he keeps saying he wants to quit piano! That he hates piano. He doesn't want to switch teachers. He's just done. I need advice! Should I just let him quit?? He doesn't want to pursue piano or music in college or as a career. I accept that, I just think he'll regret quitting. At the same time I want to give him freedom.[/quote]
