I'm going to stop my 8-year old son's violin lessons

Hi! I feel very sad today because I 'm going to make a decision to stop my son's violin lessons. He started about 5 years ago, he's now 8. He is like his dad, sportive, but not very musical, and like to play all his time with friends. Progress has been slow and motivation is not strong. He can play, also seems to enjoy when he plays familar and easy pieces. Now where we live is a small oil town, the situation is not getting bette. My daughter is quite different, musical, self-motivated, has a good piano teacher coming home to teach. I thought I will stop my son's violin lessons for now and let him playing some piano (he tried and find it easy and not bad), at least expose it to him and when he's big, he can pick up things again, hopefully making faster progress.

Any advice? Waiting to hear ...
