Learning to play an instrument

[Guest guest]

Hello....

My name is and I've lurked for a while but now have a question.

I have a 9 1/2 year old daughter who we strongly suspect is ADHD *and* Aspie

(we're working on getting an 'official' diagnosis)

My question is if anyone has gone through the process of their child learning to

play a music instrument. My daughter is going to a summer music program to learn

the flute. I had some reservations about the level of focus needed to do this

but she begged so much that I went ahead and enrolled her.

We're already having issues with getting her to practice and I'm wondering what

we can do to encourage her to keep at it without being pushy about it.

Thanks
