[quote=Anonymous]I hear you but I think your expectations are too high for a kid this age. We were in a similar situation with our son and playing guitar. He is naturally musically inclined and picked up playing fairly easily, but it took a lot of reminding on our part to get him to practice. He loved going to lessons though! His teacher told us that he was at the point where he couldn't progress much more unless he practiced at home. So we talked to him and told him that we suggested he take a break from guitar until he was ready to commit to practicing. Since dropping it, he has picked up a new sport and spends time practicing that sport on his own and with friends. It's not my first choice for him, but at this age I think kids should be trying new things and having fun and not taking any one thing super seriously. I do think my son will get back to guitar or another instrument when he is older. [/quote]
