[quote=Anonymous]My son is 14 and has been playing piano since age 7. It has always been a struggle to get him to practice, etc. But at one point he was able to start selecting music he likes. Once that happened (a couple of years ago), his practices were not as painful. He still plays some pieces mechanically, but others he does with more emotion. I think it depends on the music and whether he likes it. I intend to keep pushing this until he graduates from high school...4 more years! That being said, his teacher never made this an issue. I am not sure you have the right teacher if she is complaining about this. This is something that comes from the soul, not from instruction. He still complains when I ask him to practice, and hates to memorize pieces. But when I ask him if he wants to quite, the answer is, "I don't know," which to me means he wants to keep going.[/quote]
