So for me, learning a musical instrument is a twice daily commitment on the piano (which normally takes 45 mins before school) and another 15 mins on the violin *sigh*
And now my eldest wants to learn the flute!!!!!!

Sounds like we're living parallel lives! DS9 does around 45 minutes of piano a day, and DD5 does 15 to 20 on the violin too. Both threaten to want to learn other instruments.
Oli - it sounds like you have totally the right mind set for young Suzuki, and it can be wonderful for GT kids to able to work with a teacher directly and move at their own pace. It's been *SO* good for our kids on so many levels. Both their teachers really get them. My son really does about twice the repertoire other typical students do, but he needs it. It keeps him from moving too fast through the Suzuki music before his hands are ready. You'll have to let us know how it goes for you!
