[quote=Anonymous]I expect them to practice the amount that their teacher asks them to, just as I expect them to do assigned homework. So, that's 20 minutes per day. DS chose to do band but complained constantly about practicing and didn't seem to actually enjoy playing his instrument, although he liked the social side of band. When he wanted to quit, I encouraged him to do so and pick theater as his elective instead. A much better fit for him. The band teacher also was not sad to see him go and told me theater would be great for him, which made it even clearer that band was not working! DD also chose band but rarely complains about practice and is eager to try out different music on her own. We still remind her but it is not the battle it was with DS.[/quote]
