From an Eagle Rock mom:
Maybe it's more my dream than my son's but we have been sending our nine-year-old to weekly piano lessons since he was seven. We have to constantly get on his back to practice, making us wonder if he really has an interest in playing or if we are just wasting our money and foisting our passions on him. What do you other parents do to encourage your kids to practice and cultivate their love of music (and music lessons)?
