[quote=Anonymous]I do question young people who claim they want to be a writer, musician, artist, programmer, etc, and they don't create on their own. They don't necessarily have to self study, but should be doing things that reflect their interest. My sister had a HS and then college boyfriend who said he was going to be a novelist, but he never wrote anything. Now 15 years later, in his mid-30s and long post-college, he still hasn't written anything. I'm far from surprised. I'd expect a writer to at least journal or write long letters to people, etc. The same for music. If the person only plays assigned pieces I'm suspicious they aren't really cut out to be a musicians. Those I know who stick with music play because it's something they want and need to do for themselves. Formal practice may be a necessity, but playing is part of who they are.[/quote]
