[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No child is "really into classical music" at age 4. The truly gifted ones do learn quickly how to please their parents. I do find it's often helpful to remind fellow parents of this. [/quote] Well, he was 3 and annoyed me for a year to take lessons in his instrument of choice, declaring that he didn't like any music apart from classical (and not all classical, baroque is apparently not in favor, romantic and Russian is everything). Also, he loves the history of music CDs we have at home, and can spend hours listening to opera arias on Youtube. Please recognize that many children know what they want really early. It may be correlated with a high IQ, which is probably why you're being all weird about it, but that's neither here not there. What parents notice is that they're being hounded for something. It wouldn't have occurred to me to pay good money for serious instrument lessons for a preschooler, for goodness' sake.[/quote]
