Sympathy-know just how you're feeling,(or hubby does!) when mine were 5 and 6 they both took violin at school-only drawback was I had to learn alongside them!-mind you I did get a moment of extremly embarassing fame when Mums and 5year olds had to perform at the northern college of music!!! Youngest now is a self taught flautist,just bought a purple one off ebay!-so keep encouraging your little one & buy the neighbours earplugs .x

We used to threaten to make her practice in the garage, but never did! We said that it would attract all the cats in the street!

I sympathise with you Julia, my daughter used to play the violin. It sounded like someone strangling a cat!
