[quote=Anonymous]Letting your kid quit music is a huge mistake in my humble opinion and I will tell you why. I was raised by "Tiger" parents and my childhood had three things: 1- academics; 2- soccer and 3- guitar and piano. It was like that from the age of six until I left for college and I hated my parents for it or so I thought. My father was very hard on me and I had to practice music two hours M-F and a whole lot more on weekends. I didn't enjoy it at all but I had to do it to please my parents. When I got to college, I understood why my parents pushed me that way. Because of my music capabilities, I was able to make friends with so many people and had so many dates with women that wouldn't even look at me if I couldn't play the guitar. I am doing the same thing to my kids that my father did to me when I was young. They can decide to quit after they turn 18 but until then, it is non-negotiable with me. [/quote]
