<p>mcat2, I think we are very lucky with my kids’ music teachers. Both very good for their needs. The older son had a mild ADHD and she handled it well. Suzuki worked well for him. He is playing his instrument for pleasure in various amateur groups now. The younger one has a better focus and achieved more. He loves his instrument and has a wonderful relationship with his traditional method teacher who is strict, but not to the point of making kids to cry. I think my son would consider becoming a professional musician if he knew he would make a decent living. I don’t know how she does it, but she gets her students to practice without their parents presence. He plans to continue taking lessons in college and participating in the orchestra.</p>
