Celesta -- yes I agree that you shouldn't hold one back. DD wants to do the violin. The question is do I let all of them try all the instruments or just have the one who is getting lessons do it.

It's not that DD is trying to hurt her sister's feelings but she just seems to catch on to things faster than her siblings, esp. her sister. I keep trying to find something that DD2 really excels at but DD1 seems to do better at everything.
