[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]dp.. I made my kids practice their piano when they were taking lessons in ES.  I let them quit when they were like 10 because they begged me to; [b]I knew that they would regret it one day.  And I was right.  They are older teens n ow, and they regret quitting. They will sit at the piano once in a while and play something.   My one kid even took up the guitar and said how much they regretted not continuing piano[/b].   Sometimes, parents really do know what's best for their kids and a bit of tiger parenting is warranted.  My DC told me I should've pushed them more (they are now 19). :roll:  [/quote]

When I was young, my dad made me learn piano for twelve years and guitar for five years.  I had to practice two hours every day, and I hated him.  When I headed off to college, my piano and guitar skills provided me with an opportunity to make friends, and I even met my wife at a party where I showed my guitar skills.  That was fifteen years ago.  [b]I am making sure my ten-year-old DS and nine-year-old DD learn music as soon as they are able to speak.[/b]  If they can learn vocals, even better.[/quote]

Let's be honest...your guitar skills allowed you to make friends and attract your wife.  So, you would have had the same results with 1/2 the time (i.e., no piano).

Surprised your 10 year old and 9 year old can't speak yet.  Hope it happens soon.[/quote]
