[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 462343, member: 11791"] Neither. Its a curse that goes with talent. For some of these kids - it really does come that easy. Some options... Ask the teacher if your son can challenge a second instrument - if you can afford to do so. This means they have to learn ALL the music for BOTH instruments. Second instrument cannot be in the same family... if he's playing trumpet, then #2 can't be trombone... it could be sax, or flute, or keyboard... Is there jazz band? Klezmer band? Pit orchestra? Some teachers will allow all of THAT practice time to count toward class practice, as long as you have your class music learned. Same goes for community orchestra, church band, etc. See if the teacher can get harder, star-level parts for the same pieces the others are playing - have your son add some real pizzazz to the whole band. These pieces, he can't whip off in 5 minutes. Just some ideas... [/QUOTE]
