I have an email from the teacher.
"I'll check in on her again this week and let you know. Last I checked she was able to get her instrument up, use good posture and was ready pretty quickly. She wasn't so distracted by those around her. I need to check her reading skills and bow hold and will let you know."
I honestly don't think it's "too easy", I think she is having problems holding the thing. And she tends to give up immediately when anything is difficult. So, we'll see if I get any more info on Thurs. I'll probably try harder to force her to practice more but I don't know about switching instruments for next year, giving up on band/orchestra altogether, or what. In a way, this seems easy as in "If you don't practice your instrument, then you can't continue with the instrument" (i.e. logical consequences), but if she will have a hard time joining again later that seems harsh.
