Just wondering... Obviously not all kids who start an instrument continue to grade 8, but how far do most go before they stop? DS1 seems to have come to a standstill. He's been playing for 3yrs and got up to grade 5, which is fab, but right now it all seems too much bother for him and causes loads of rows (hmmm, typical 11-yr-old). I'm wondering if all the £££s it's cost so far, and the fact that it's only going to get alot harder at grade 6 and above (btw, he has 6 grades of theory to catch up with first) makes it worth continuing much longer, esp as he starts secondary school in Sept. Or will he regret it later on? Your advice would be really welcome - thanks!
