[quote=Anonymous]I started playing the piano at age six, in 1978. I would have LOVED to be able to have all of the online options that are available to kids these days. I taught myself everything I could from books I found in the library, in addition to taking lessons from a teacher with a Master's Degree in Music, but I could have taught myself everything at home if I had had internet back in the day. It's awesome, how much you can teach yourself these days without even leaving your home. My fiancé has been teaching himself to play the guitar over the past year, and he's taken advantage of all the lessons that are available online. He's much farther ahead than he would be if he was only getting a couple of lessons a month from a teacher, because he would have to schedule those lessons around work and the rest of his busy life. He can take a lesson whenever he wants, doing it this way. Definitely take advantage of everything you can find, OP. There are lots of free lessons available online, in addition to the ones you have to pay for. Take advantage of everything. If your kid isn't interested, don't push it. No one had to tell me to practice. I lived and breathed my music, and the piano was my first love. My mother tried to force my sister to learn to play, because I enjoyed it so much, and she finally realized that if the music is not in your soul, there's no point in wasting your time or your money on it. Either you're born with it or you aren't. [/quote]
