Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 , I'm NT and I started violin in school in 3rd grade I guess? Eventually I wanted to quit but Mom said NO. And, when I really started to get good and got some enjoyment at making nice music (late primary/high school) then it was really worth it. Maybe you can get some sheet music from the music store or online that she might like that is at her skill level or below (fun!) that she can play after she gets her practice time in. A reward? There are simple versions of movie sountracks sometimes or well known songs... When I was practicing my brothers were merciless saying that I sounded like 'cats stapled together' and being really mean. Anything like that going on? What level is she in the orchestra? Is she in the back of the section aka one of the worst violinists? (do they do that in primary? I can't remember.) Are private lessons with a friendly Aspie educated (maybe by you) tutor a possibility? When you sound like crap you just don't wanna play! When I can, I still play. My husband got me a beautiful and unique violin for a wedding present. It can be a lifelong joy. HTH, Jen kricketsmommy@... wrote: > > > Have another music related question.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I guess it depends,does she have other things she wants to do? My girlfriends daughter was in tae kwan do, we told her she to join something, she enjoyed it but eventually quit, she was 16. Once she quit, it was back to coming home from school and having nothing to do at night or on the weekends. We would ask her what she would like to do, and she would say, I don't know. This led to her once again being isolated from everyone. So, ask her what she wants to do, then go from there. I played the cello, and hated it,and I quit, so, I understand. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I would find places with supportive teachers. Maybe the orchestra group is not a good fit. Don't quit things she likes find more supportive teachers. We go way out of our way to a YMCA that has a very supportive dance program. I drum into my daughter's head that dance is for fun and exercise. Dance is often a form of good bi-lateral exercise. I wanted her to be in some group exercise versus none. She had some teachers that worked with her privately to be prepared for the recitals. Same thing with religion I have to go to a church miles away and I have been working with another parent to provide religion in a small small setting. My daughter does not practice her clarinet every day but she can play some songs and we seek lessons in the summer with a supportive teacher to learn a few more. Enough to perform at her schools talent shows. She has been working on one song for over a year. Pam > > Have another music related question. Our 10 year old wanted to play the > violin.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I really feel it is important for kids to have an exercise or sport that they can join in by their teen years. Some AS boys like bowling. Some like martial arts. My daughter is doing well in irish step dancing because there is not so much to coordinate with the upper body (still a struggle though) but she thinks it is fun. Many people say the clarinet is one of the easiest instruments to learn to play. My daughter is still struggling to practice but she knows a few songs. We are working on girl scouts independently in the summer. The cadette level has wonderful patches to explore career options and get them volunteering in the world. She could not keep up with the group. Got to run, Pam > > Have another music related question. Our 10 year old wanted to play the > violin.
