Music matters to DD a lot more than math these days and music lessons and practice keep her very busy.
I feel she is already being challenged a lot with music and I think the skills she is developing while practicing music would transfer to academics later in her life.
DD's childhood is turning out to be far from what we wanted for her. We are not crazy stage parents who wanted to create a prodigy. This is all her drive so we let her determine her own trajectory and time commitment. If this were coming from her teacher, I'd have put a stop to it.
