Here Is Why You Quit Piano

[@gorgeousjoanna]

This is very interesting, and makes me feel a lot better about all those horrible arguments I had with my parents when I wanted to quit all those years ago. For me, it was the teacher (the only one in our small rural village) who was rigid and uninspiring, rarely encouraging or complimentary, with no interest in showing me what was possible beyond the structure of the exam repertoire. No idea why this person was a teacher. Wish I could wind back the clock and tell myself it wasn't me.

I wish Ugnius lived next door. He explains music so clearly & naturally. I am shocked to realise how unclear my piano teachers have been - in fact, I've often found free postings on KZbin have provided clearer guidance & advice than lessons in person. Am in my 70s,wish I'd had more discernment 50/60 yrs ago

Wow, thank you!

I think a person must really like the piano to stick with it especially as an adult. Kids are generally used to having to focus on instruction but adults have developed other habits and are reluctant to commit the required time. I think most kids will get tired of the piano but there are a few who will hit it just right so that their brain becomes wired to learn it. For us self trained adults it is more of a plodding along like a mule.

All great and valid points! But... Please... Get those plants off the piano 😂 a disaster waiting to happen

Will do! Cheers!

Love plants on the piano. They are a joy to look at while I play and the create a pleasant, cheerful, beautiful environment that keeps me at the keys for longer. Likewise, I'll put my tea cup up there too! When I'm a virtuoso I promise I'll look after the Steinway D better 🤣
