It's entirely possible that your kid is a violin prodigy, requiring neither instruction nor practice to perform as well as kids who have had both. Or it's entirely possible that the teacher just wanted to reassure you that she was on track to be successful in the class.

("There are plenty of kids like yours, so she'll be fine" is a comment that works at both ends of the spectrum, as well as for all the kids in between.)
