If he's not enjoying it, he's going to resent it. Here is a person who would probably have stayed with music the rest of his life if you hadn't pissed him off about it when he was little. As long as he enjoys it, pay for the lessons. They will return enormous dividends over that individual's life to organize musical thinking. Sports are the same way. If kid could be a talented athlete,. Help him with that. But don't punish him because you were a shitty athlete and you want him to be better than you. Don't punish him for that.
