I hated 8 years of piano.7 years too many.

Got a reasonable grade, retired aged 16

wanted to play guitar.

Got no help or encouragement

So
'I did it my way'

I only wished Ild had a decent guitar to play on for the next 6 years.

Only my 22 year old son shows an interest in music but this will develope with time.

Why do we want our kids to do everything in their early years?

Swim . soccer. scouts. drama. dance. music etc

No wonder they kick out later.
