Thanks S-T for the book referral.
We are not so keen to encourage a career in music but thinking now that a music school gifted program might be the best training for her mind. Since she seems to reallly love music. Just watching her and how she responded to her instructor.
She has "chosen" her instrument. She has said violin for a year now and when she tries the children's violins after the Philharmonic concerts we go to for children, she doesn't want to let it go. And the violinst always turns to us and says she should play the violin, she has an instinct.
But you know how we talk about GT denial, I keep thinking, well you know how we get. Yes, she is smart, but how smart. So yes, she loves music, but gifted. And now the message is repeated, and repeated by people who are suppose to know. But I have no guide within me to trust.
There is part of me that is a little afraid, not sure what of, but afraid.
