| I think our progress slows down mostly because we come to the realization that trumpet playing is not easy. Like you said, in 6th grade we never thought "man, this is hard" at least I never did, we just played to have fun. I have a 7th grade student that is an incredible player and is way passed the level he should be playing at, and the greatest part is, he has no idea that what he's doing is not normal, he thinks that all 7th graders play like him, and I always try my best to keep him on that thought. Hope that helps!
