Music

I wonder why many parents sign their children up for music lessons, for piano lessons especially. What is their purpose? They first have to consider if the child is truly intrested in the music or the instrument they are going for. Of course, at such a young age, one cannot decide properly due to the lack of experience. However, if the child begins to dislike the instrument, i think their parents should stop the lessons. To learn an instrument in today's age, costs a bomb--in terms of time and money: the lessons, instruments, books, exam fees. If the child dislike the instrument, aren't you wasting your time and money? And if the child is lazy to practice, that's worse, because there will never be improvements.

Marianne's mum inspired me to write this, well sort of. We were talking about piano lessons on the way home, after Marianne left the car for her lesson at woodlands. Why woodlands? Goshh. So far.

There are of course some people that start of not liking their instrument but end up loving them. Like me and my piano. Me and my voice, okay voice lessons haven't started properly, but i used to hate singing last time due to the lack of confidence. Yet, it was Renee in choir last year who brought up my confidence. We had no choice but to sing loudly, right, so i had no choice but to enjoy singing, and from there learn pitching. And Renee and her violing, see, she's so pro at it now!
