When my D was in 7th grade she wanted to try acting. She loved it and continued throughout HS. When my S in 7th grade, he started to play piano again (he had quit a few years earlier). He loved it and turned out to be really good at it. In addition to playing for his own enjoyment he’s found opportunities to perform both in HS and college.

The key was that these were things they chose and loved to do. They did other activities as well (volunteer work, clubs etc.) but, again, it was always their choice.

Let your son do whatever he finds enjoyable. He’s more likely to be happy and to stick with it.
