There have been some good ideas tossed around. 🙂 Another one I had is if there is another way he can get invovled besides lessons. Could he play for church? (goes back to Rebekah’s idea of learning to play for accompaniment) Start a little band with his friends? Plan songs to learn for a little recitical with other kids? Maybe he dislikes it because he needs the motivation to have something to work towards!
I should check into Simply Music for my daughter (9 next month) I pulled her out of piano last year when she was in public school because of cost and time…She was sick alot and had too much homework most nights, and it just felt like an unessisary burden. But she’s natrually musical, and would love it. This is the second time I’ve heard it’s praises!
Thanks and to the OP, hope this helps!
