[quote=Anonymous]Even professional musicians don't like to practice, OP! That is normal and nothing to worry about.

If your child likes music, then they will be OK with you reminding them they have to do practice in order to progress and perform, and the more they perform, the more they will understand what it takes to do even better. If they truly want to stop, they will tell you in so many words. Get them really good teachers! Not the kind that comes to your house - those are bottom of the barrel.

I love classical music. My now adult and teen kids love it too. When they were younger, they were both in the Strathmore Children's Chorus, and one of them has spent years in the Maryland Classic Youth Orchestra. Listening to them fill the house with music brings me so much joy, and they get a kick out of performing with their ensembles (the solo recitals are a little more daunting).

Piano is a solitary instrument unless your kid is selected to accompany their choir, band or orchestra. Kids usually prefer to socialize when they play, and therefore a band or orchestra instrument (or choir), will usually make them continue for longer.
