[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 396137, member: 3493"] I'm also on the island. I let my easy child daughter quit orchestra in grade 9. She also complained about the sectionals, which always seemed to be scheduled for her math periods (her weakest area). She then switched to chorus but dropped that because the kids weren't serious about singing. She went to choir which was a before school activity where the teacher let them do sectionals whenever they had time as long as they gave him notice. She also refused to take music theory. Fast forward a few years - she's in college studying Special Education with a music concentration and thinking about doing the major, which involves about 4 extra courses. She doesn't regret dropping orchestra (she was one of 4 cellists, the other three of whom had private lessons that I couldn't afford for my daughter so they were better) but she is sorry she didn't do music theory. She just got her grade back and she had an A-, which is great but she really struggled with it. She's actually thinking of taking a cello course at some point as well. Her quitting orchestra was not a difficult child thing because she's always been a easy child. I'm glad that your GC was able to work out a solution. So often, it's just a matter of figuring out what the problem is and finding a simple solution. [/QUOTE]
