We went through this last December with DS7. It got to the point where we actually entertained the idea of letting him quit. He's an amazing pianist and it saddened us so much that he wanted to give up playing.
I talked with his teacher and she started to incorporate more duets. She also asked him to bring along his recorder that he was learning in music class at school - they finished the recorder book from school in only a few lessons so she found recorder duets. She just tried new things to keep him interested.
We recently started cyber schooling and he *asks* if he can go ahead and practice early in the day, which blows me away! I really think when he was in PS he didn't get home until 4, had to do homework, eat dinner, practice...he didn't feel like he had any free time. Now that he's schooling at home, he seems to realize he has that extra time. I know how frustrating it can feel though. Hopefully you can hang in there and his interest will pick up again!
