Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. I really hope that DS6 will want to take lessons again someday since he seems to be such a natural at it. I tried to suggest a reward system yesterday if he would stick with it but he wanted no part of it. He calmly told me that he did not want to practice and play piano anymore. I'll admit it--I am sad. I feel guilty since his school situation probably isn't helping this situation at all. Is it summer yet?
