[quote=Anonymous]Lots of people have already chimed in with good advice and perspective, so I'll just reiterate. I say this as a person from a family full of professional musicians: Kids don't practice. ADULTS put off practicing. In our house we've now tied it into allowance, along with other chores. My now teen is finally motivated enough to want to get better so he gets to play more challenging and interesting stuff, but at 10? Nope. And he still doesn't practice without serious nudging. Heck, my 40 year old professional musician brother doesn't practice without being nudged (it's self-nudging, but still). [/quote]
