[quote=Anonymous]My kids did violin and cello (one each). We woke up early to do practice every day. (If we waited til after school or evening, it might not get done.) I sat with them and guided during practice until they were in middle school when they were more independent. It's true that there's not much point in taking lessons if you're not going to practice and honestly, it's super frustrating if you don't practice because you don't get any better and then you don't enjoy it. Did they always LOVE practice? No, but they understood that it was a part of our day and they did enjoy playing their instruments. They are college students now and no longer play violin and cello (except occasionally for their own pleasure) but both are VERY musical and have been able to pick up other instruments easily.
