My parents forced me to take piano lessons for four years. What I learned was that their idealized idea of childhood accomplishment was all that mattered. My interests were something that absolutely was not tolerated.
Well, the flute was not so much my instrument of choice. I kinda wanted to play the trumpet. I had previously taken violin lessons which was in fact my idea. I think they, mostly my father, pushed me to play the flute, because my father played the flute. My father also happened to own two flutes.
Later when my sister was in junior high school she got to play the instrument of her choice which was the saxophone, but she didn't continue to play the sax after junior high, whereas I was in marching band in high school.
Should parents force children to learn music
