[quote=Anonymous] I'm a stealth Tiger Mother, and my fourth grader completed his violin year then did not pursue it for 5th grade. He has many other extra-curriculars, including music, and violin was not his thing. Your daughter can finish the year, do the school concert, and then stop. I would NOT let her quit mid-year. Violin in 4th grade is very basic (my preschool child started violin and was doing much more difficult stuff at 4 than my 9 year old), and there is no individual recital to get all hot and bothered about. More importantly, you can't quit gracefully before a concert, it's letting down your friends and teacher, who need you there. The concert is usually a cacophony - so many students play out of tune that no one will notice if *she* plays out of tune! But she has to be there. It's work ethic, if nothing else. [/quote]
