stop violin?

we are back for class after the chinese new year break. as usual, we reminded yu ze about his class during lunch time. he told us he don't want to go for class, violin is yucky. we just leave it as it is thinking he is just trying to push his luck to skip class.

 

lesson didn't go well, he refuse to do anything. doesn't want to hold the violin at all. only thing he did today is to stand and bow with the violin. end up, i call off the class after 5 minutes. we walked out with a crying yu ze. he has been a good boy for the past 7 months. though he make noise about the class, he will still go and concentrate and do whatever for 15 mins on bad days. today is the ultimate.

 

upon reaching home, he dare not ask for his favourite tv. he just play with his toys. darling asked him if he is serious about not wanting to do violin. he say yes and violin is yucky. darling agreed to let him stop. i was sad when he said he wants to stop. violin is what he asked for, i didn't expect him to tell me he wants to stop. 

 

however, his behaviour today also set me thinking, is the class to slow and boring for him. all he did  is stand, bow and bow activities. nothing on the violin except for plucking some songs which yu ze don't like. his way of plucking is not right end up having a sore thumb and blister.

 

i hope today is just the 'wrong day' for him.
