[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]swimming: worth it [b]violin: not worth it piano: not worth it[/b] French: not worth it sailing: worth it cross-country: worth it flight lessons: worth it[/quote] Totally disagree on the bolded. Basic skills on an instrument, reading music, and understanding music a little are valuable life skills.[/quote] For us, it was not worth it. My kids can all read music, but actually playing is not where their talent is, and that's totally okay. [/quote] I barely can play piano any more after a few years of lessons. I am far from musically talented. But I'm glad I did it. I guess we have different definitions of "worth it." I think anything that builds skills and interests in my kids is worth it.[/quote]
