[quote=Anonymous]She’s not passionate about it but likes it well enough. That’s ok! Age 12-13 is when many kids hit a wall as far as interest and practicing, so your husband should tread lightly unless he wants to ruin it for her. The genius and passion of Daniel Barenboim are not going to trickle down to your daughter. And that’s fine. Find a teacher she likes. Let her continue in the ways she wants, or have a family meeting and reach a compromise about how much practice she will do. She may raise her game in high school. Which music camp is she going to? I love that she likes something musical and wants to keep doing it. Many good things flow from that, even if she’ll never be concertmaster. Tell your DH to focus on his own piano practicing!
