[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid like this. I would stay with once/week lessons (an hour in length, maybe twice/week in summer) and encourage him to practice as much as he wants (several hours a day). The key for us has been to find a teacher who understands him, challenges him, but is ok with his goals (not to be a professional) and helps him play at a high level but doesn’t burn him out. My kid is on HS and most of his friends do plan to pursue music professionally. He probably could too but is clear he doesn’t have the desire to. I sometimes wonder if he will change his mind in college.[/quote] Anyway, I get what you are saying and I think it’s all about the right teacher. Some teachers won’t be able to resist pushing too hard with a kid like this.[/quote] Thanks for your reply. It’s helpful to hear from someone with a similar kid and also an older one so you’ve BTDT. I think you’re right about finding the right teacher too. [/quote]
