QUOTE BUT now that her karate's grading test is coming up KARATE!!! :o and playing the violin?? Not exactly a good combination, and I speak from experience mixing dangerous hobbies with music. Owning and riding a horse was bad enough, but it was the ice hockey that didn't really mix. Any sports that involve sparring, some sort of contact (whether deliberate or otherwise) are bad news for musicians of any age. I was eventually forced to give up the ice hockey two years ago - after sustaining repeated injuries to my right knee. Fortunately I was lucky enough to not end up with any serious damage to my arms or hands - although I knew of players with pinned elbows, wrists etc. following on-ice collisions. As she's 'violin mad', hope you've let her know that any injuries to shoulders, or a broken arm/fingers/hand could mean weeks with no violin playing :( |

[quote]BUT now that her karate's grading test is coming up[/quote] KARATE!!! :o and playing the violin?? Not exactly a good combination, and I speak from experience mixing dangerous hobbies with music. Goodness gracious! Doesn't all sports (apart from swimming and cycling) involve bodily contact? Even doubles tennis players bump into each other! What am I going to say to her? She's working hard at karate. Got distinction last term and wants to get as high as possible! :huh: Aw, oh. Haven't warn her yet. How am I supposed to put it tactfully without sounding like a negative or over-reactive parent? :o |
