[quote=Anonymous]Not going to look up the person's name or the exact quote, but some famous violinist said something along the lines of "If I skip a day of practice, I notice. If I skip two days of practice, the critics notice. If I skip three days of practice, the audience notices." Does your kid have critics? A following? If not, take a vacation already. If they aspire to have critics and a following, still take the vacation now while they can and not when it becomes even more difficult. Others have recommended ways of staying engaged with the music while on vacation, without access to an instrument. Let me add to the list: have your kid "listen" to all of their music in their head. That is, recreate each piece in the mind, beginning to end. Not just their part, but every part, every line. It's a great skill to acquire. [/quote]
