[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree with the moms saying this. [b]I think she should finish the year.[/b] You should insist on practice and a few extra lessons. You could also just try to check in with her if there is something else going on (dynamics in the class itself.) I'd talk to the band teacher, myself, to alert him or her to your daughter's feelings and your efforts. He/she might have some insights.[/quote] The point of playing an instrument is enjoyment. You are supposed to enjoy playing an instrument -- not necessarily every single day, for every single piece and practice session, but definitely overall. In OP's case, OP's child [i]hates[/i] playing the trombone. What does OP's child gain from being forced to do something she hates for the rest of the year? What is the benefit?[/quote]
