[QUOTE="keista, post: 462374, member: 11965"] I was gonna say BOTH (Aspie and typical teen thinking) All the suggestions are great. You didn't say what the teacher's response was? Honestly, I'm wondering too. I wondered the same thing about this whole practicing mastered skills concept when son was getting 100's on his spelling tests but getting a failing grade - he didn't do the spelling triangles whose sole purpose was to help the kids get a good grade on the test. WTF? But that's comparing apples to pineapples. I know there are lots of subtleties to music, but if he does indeed master them in less time, then I don't see the point of mundane exercises. by the way "perfect pitch", or something very close to it is very common in Aspies. I've always wondered where son was on that scale, but he has no interest in music, but can identify singers' new songs by knowing their old ones, he can cross identify cartoon character voices, recognize different notes or chords when a cover band is playing, etc. And the music stuff he really doesn't care about but identifies it when he hears it.
