Jayden does very well playing the saxophone and is quite far ahead in her book. Her band instructor expects the kids to practice 100 minutes a week. Jayden has an average of 60 minutes a week and is doing a great job. I feel that if she is playing good and not getting behind, I am not going to push her. She dreads practicing and really likes to have an audience. I try to sit in and listen when I can. She plays very well and I enjoy hearing her play. I hope that she can stay with it over the years even though her instructor is making it very difficult.
