[quote=Anonymous]I can't see forcing a 15 year old to stick with an extracurricular they want to quit. The more you force, the more he will resist. It is possible that if you back off, he might continue.

If it were me, I would tell the kid he can take a break for the rest of the school year and summer. But that in exchange, he need to sit down and talk to me at the end of the summer about next school year. If he still wants to quit, fine.  But he will at least re-evaluate in August after her has had several months off and make sure that's still what he wants.

Also, something to keep in mind. I have a HS musician (probably not as talented as your kid though!) who needs to take a year off of band. We just settled on him taking AP Music Theory instead. Win-Win.  He gets AP credit, and still stays in touch with music and his instrument, since elementary composition, etc., are part of the course.  If that is an option for your might renew his interest in music, or help him look at music as more than hours of piano practice time. [/quote]
