I responded above, but will respond again. Please do not worry if your kid is not practicing four hours per day. It is not necessary for a high schooler working toward a music education major to practice that much. Your child’s college schedule will have a lot more time for practice. The more important thing is— can your student see themselves practicing 1-2 hours daily in college? If they don’t like music that much THEN perhaps they will need to reconsider their choice of major. But in a musical environment and a schedule that revolves around music, it should be a lot easier to get into a regular practice routine. And by all means they should continue at their current school and keep playing as much as they can.
