re: Musicians: encouraging/supporting your kids Re:Playing Musical Instruments

It also depends on what type of kids they are. Are they really independent? Do they like to figure out things on there own? I was like that and have never taken a lesson. With technology now and youtube honestly, there's almost no reason to take lessons. I give lessons and have for about 7-8 years but I refuse to go more than 5 sessions in a row and only once a month. I believe lessons greatly inhibit creativity.
