@Momofadult Oh totally understand what you are saying about practice. Practice was not always “fun” for my son but he also was motivated to practice and work at it because he loved music so much. You are working on that piece because you want to succeed at it, not because you feel it is something everyone else wants you to do. There is a difference. I have seen many children “turned off” by music because parents FORCE them to practice and continue on an instrument. Sometimes a child needs a break from an instrument. Sometimes they need to shift instruments or even shift the type of music they are playing. My son who just graduated from conservatory started of taking piano lessons as a small child. He didn’t last long. In 5th grade he started taking mostly classical Cello lessons at school. But it was not until he started the electric Bass (his older brother convinced him to drop the Cello for the electric bass because he played Jazz guitar) that my son suddenly found his groove with music. A few years later he begged me to get him an upright Bass and find a teacher and the rest is history.
So as I suggested sometimes as parents we have to look at our child and tease out what the next door to open is.
