Would really appreciate some wisdom. DD is starting a new senior school Yr7 in September. At the moment she has music lessons in school and so will need a new teacher regardless.
I don't know whether to organise lessons in school or outside? The pro of in school is that she will be involved in the music dept activity and more likely to get involved in orchestras and bands. She is quite shy so may be reluctant to do this otherwise although obviously she will be allowed to.
The con is that she will miss academic lessons (although the actual lesson missed will vary each week) and I don't want her to fall behind, miss homework being set, etc. I think she will also find it hard to walk out of a lesson midway to go to the music lesson.
What has worked for your DC? I don't know what to do for the best.
