Should you force your child to keep going to music lessons/enrichment classes if they don't want to anymore?

No. It doesn't matter what classes they are, but if your child tells you they don't want to go anymore (and the reason why), you shouldn't force them to go anymore - or at least not until you find another teacher/different class (if it's something about the class that bothers them). If you do, you're simply telling your child that "I know you're uncomfortable but I'm not going to do anything about it". As a result, you could be indirectly telling your child that their opinion doesn't matter, or that telling you things doesn't make a difference - resulting in them closing up from you and not wanting to share anything in the future, especially when they feel uncomfortable with things they're doing.
