[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising 9th grader has played an instrument since they were very young. Weekly private lessons but no involvement in an orchestra or larger group. Decent player but nothing remarkable. They wanted to play at first, but now dislike it and have lost interest. In general we support them following their passions, but we have pushed them to keep up the instrument through high school in part because it may look good for college. I’m embarrassed even writing this because it sounds silly and isn’t how we’ve parented otherwise but somehow it’s hard to let them drop it. Is pressing to keep on going ridiculous, or a good idea?[/quote] Colleges don't care that they just played an instrument, unless there are awards or accolades at a high level. You can just list the instrument as an activity in their common app when the time comes and they have no way of verifying it.[/quote]
