When Your Child Wants to Quit Piano Lessons

9/16/2012

Learning to play the piano isn't easy.  Sometimes it isn't fun.  Sometimes it's a lot of work.  

And sometimes kids want to quit.

What can a mom do?

We learned a great idea from Jon Schmidt several years ago.  

Our young son was tired of piano lessons and he was ready to quit.  

Then we took him to his first Jon Schmidt concert.  Jon wasn't just a talented musician, he told engaging stories and shared some of his struggles when he was learning to play the piano.

Jon's advice?  Find music your children not only like, but LOVE to play.  

We bought some Jon Schmidt music as we left the concert, and our son went to work.  

That was all it took for him to renew his efforts.  Jon Schmidt played "All of Me" (the song below) at the concert, and It didn't take too long before our son was playing it too.  

This could be a great time to stock up on music your young musicians will love to play.
  
You will be glad you did!
