[quote=Anonymous]Look how helpful they were on the Goonies. J/k. My parents started me in lessons at 4 and I played until 13 or 14, when I finally won the years-long battle and quit. It was fun at first, but there waas too much pressure with recitals, some competitions, my teacher yelled at me for not practicing for hours every day, my parents yelled at me for not practicing at all, it became a source of constant pushing by my mom (on top of everything else, they accused me of wasting their money and threatened to make me quit if I didn't practice more, which I kind of wanted but I wanted it to be on my own terms), and I couldn't stand the pressure as I got older. I am glad they gave me the foundation, and the early years were fun. I just wish they - and my teacher - hadn't made it into such a battle as I got older. [/quote]
