How to tell my Dad I don't want to learn the flute any more?
Basically, I've been learning the flute for 5 years, and recently I have been finding it hard to find a reason to keep playing because I just don't want to learn it anymore. I dont enjoy my lessons, and I just dont want to do it. But the thing is, my whole family is really musical and I know that my Dad will want me to carry it on, and he will be so upset and think its a total waste, and I know he probably wants me to do music in university but the thing is my passion is singing.
I dont know whether to just continue with my lessons to make my dad happy, or be selfish and tell him that I just dont want to do it anymore.
Thanks :)

Tell your dad the truth. If it is difficult, get your mom or sister to support you. You need to be in charge of your life. Don't let people do things that you don't like. Good luck.

ok i understand this is probably a realy hard situation for you but you have to let him know your point of view. its not selfish to so this. Simply go up to him and go straight to the point, tell him how you dont enjoy flute any more and that its a waste of money you having lessons, explain how you are passionate about singing and that is still a musical talent. when you talk to him try to sound sympathetic with him and put on a baby face.
hope this helps, sorry if it didnt

If you don't wanna play the flute, its not selfish.. Just hint that you've gone off it or maybe stop practicing so he asks questions then it will be easier to just tell him you don't really wanna play it anymore. Maybe say something like 'I'll carry on with it if you want me to though' make him realize you would do it for him anyway.

Singing is also musical. Be honest and up front with your dad. Tell him you have grown away from the flute and you no longer wish to learn. Tell him your passion
is singing.

Following your way is not selfish. Tell him the truth, because you want to live your life!
