- In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org - Susan McClary, Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, shares some advice for parents of musicians on how to accept, enjoy and support their child's decision to enter a career in music.
Did anybody notice that the sheet music on the piano is placed upside down?!!
Eray Altinbuken thanks... that will bug me.
Hilarious. She probably doesn't know the difference either.
The video could be flipped, hard to say when the video quality is abysmal.
That made me laugh so bad
No, you're just playing it wrong. It's obviously right-side-up.
One day soon I feel this will change. The more our workforce becomes increasingly automated, art, music, science, consciousness and love will shift into the foreground of humanity. As science and technology free people more, they will have an abundance of time for the joy and the liberating experiences that come with the freedom of artistic self expression.
"As science and technology free people more"
That will occur ONLY if BILLIONS more people GO INTO science & technology to make our lives easier & fairer & better. Only stupid morons who do not understand logic just take for granted that magically science & technology will advance & make our lives better, on their own.
The Ultimate Reductionist your comment made me question on how your brain works I have no problems regarding freedom of speech or opinions, but your opinion tends to offend musicians like me. Opinion should be "I don't like it so meh not I don't like it and I should post hate comments."
jezebel, does encouragment play a big part in the fact that there is amusician in a family?
The Ultimate Reductionist what he means is that robots will take over more and more common jobs
Jezebel Decibel spot on. I saw one of your videos the other day. good stuff
My dad is a musician, he encourages me to follow my dreams and become a musician.. But I'm starting out.
I feel sorry for anyone who has parents who don't agree with their child's hopes and dreams, if you're parent doesn't agree.. Don't listen!
They may have given birth to you but that doesn't mean they are in control of your whole life.
Thanks
Catsu I really needed this pick up I just told my mom that I wanted to become a singer/ rapper and if I could have her support and she said know but just last month she was telling me that I couldn’t be whatever I wanna be
No*
my dad is also a musician :)
Music is part of our life people who are clearly trying hard to become "boring" not to insult someone, but music saved me from depression no need to take risky anti depressants some people are designed to entertain their fellow humans while others tries to make this world a more convenient place to live, so people who has grudge against music to shut up it is clearly one's decision.
I love biology as much as I love playing the piano I wanna be a musician though. The thing is I appreciate science even though I'm musically inclined there's no need to hate on things that you're not good on or thinking that it has no contribution towards the living of humans.
tailspao Su i feel for you! extremley similar situation, as much as i too love biology, music holds somthing special to my heart and to play teombone "on the side" and gig w guitar like my parents reccomend is not the way i feel i want to do, but they are understanding and support me in whatever reasonable activity i partake in
Glad you have some suppirtive parents keep lets keep playing cause music is life
the thing is, music is commonly associated with drugs, especially the kind of music i play, which is rock n roll. sure, there's drugs. sure, the phrase "sex, drugs and rock n roll" is true. but drugs are not just in music. i mean there's janitors that do drugs, teachers, lawyers, doctors, architects, businessmen... has anyone here watched the wolf of wall street? it's all based on a true story, just because someone wears a suit doesn't mean they don't rack up lines of coke. if any parent out there says "oh i don't want my kid to play music because of drugs", then don't let your kid have ANY job, because drugs are in every industry and at the end of the day, it's your choice as to whether you do drugs or not. and really, if you're so anti-drugs, then throw out all your albums, art, movies, oh, and alcohol. don't criticise someone for smoking weed when after a long day of work, you go home and pour yourself a big glass of vodka and take some paracetamol for your headache.
one other thing in this video that made me think, is how susan was asking 'why are people so gravitated to organised noise'.. well, because they connect to it. because they can relate to it, or see a way of expressing themselves without having to talk. trust me, a guitar solo can say alot about how someone is feeling.
We have to have music it's what gets us through hard times and having a job in music is the best thing in the world
I am 15 and I want to become a pop/R&B singer and a songwriter My family says I should focus on school and do something else because it’s not “sustainable” but music is the only thing I want to do. I almost fail this semester at Maths yet I don’t care. I focus only on singing,piano lessons,song writing,marketing and branding inspiration and searching inspiration from other successful singers
I have had a successful career in music now for more than 25 yrs.I have a very decent income and I love my work....It is possible (3340 steve). A lot of the equation also has to do with: talent, intelligence, the quality of one's training & one's work-ethic. There really is a lot more to the "complete equation," than you might imagine.
I have family members doscouraing me from playing an instrument and singing. I regret listening to them. I am hopefully going to learn ukulele at age 33. A life without music made me very depressed. I believe misery loves company.
It’s never too late to I learned guitar at 36 and doing it full time. Even if full time is not your goal, you can still learn. Go with your gut.
I personaly feel sorry for the people who have this mindset. Sound and music is not just a 'thing' it is an artform, a life, not something to be dissed! Music is not to be underestimated. I play drums and trumpet and they are the best noises ,personaly, you can hear! Music makes people, it does NOT break them. No matter what happens, if anyone wants to do music then they should!
A lot of Asian parents get their kids into playing music as part of their academic curriculum (Classical music especially). It has been proven that students can enhance their intelligence (possibly increase IQ) when they learn to play an instrument and persevere. Out of all the students who learned to play music, only a small fraction will consider a career in music. Unlike doctors, scientists, engineers & accountants who are considered professionals who would benefit society, musicians are not as needed. The ones who wanted to become a "professional" musicians, there are very few openings and the industry is very competitive.
I'm 21 years old. I've been playing the piano since I was 6 years old. My parents have been and still are paying for my lessons but they always said I have to study something else because music will not give me enough money to live. So now I am at my 3rd year in food science uni and I hate my life. I have one dream. I always wanted to play music for people. I remember when I was 7 I played piano at a school theatrical show infront of a full theater with grown ups. I wanted to play so much at this event. I always wanted to play for people. There is nothing in life that fills my heart with joy more than performing. To me the end of a performance is like the end of a very good and touching movie , just because I know that it may be the last time for me..
It is just very hard doing this without any recognition and support from your own family.
It's strange the reasons behind this! Why parents often think music is for gipsy or bad boys ! Especially when a musician develop a passion. Thanks for this excellent video.
Thank you for this touching post! The story at the end speaks to the child in all of us - still there as adults, every time we play music. Brought a tear to my eye.
For me it's the opposite, I don't know how to make money as a musician, (but I really like it). And my mom says "follow your passion".
Hello Xiudgcsiug you are very lucky ;)
go to a music college first
U r so lucky!
Cole B. T. Make a video of you playing or singing your music and share it all over social media!! Go for your dreams! If you wanna hear something that will help motivate you listen to Ed sheeran and his tips on how he became amazing at his career
Musician make money that the most important is commercial music performance like jazz piano ensemble and Lang Lang and other concert musician.
I'm teaching myself five different instruments (I play six) and my mom got pissed at me. I thought she would be proud. Ofc not, she got pissed and was like, "oh, yh right. Doubt it. Why don't you just focus on one, you can't play that many." She told my friend she hopes I never become a musician and constantly says I should be a vet or something-_-
Ukuleles and Screaming Can relate XD, they have a point though. But being a jack of all trades, master of none is not that bad
then that's one thing you have to do learn whatever instruments you want try them out and lastly master some of them prove to your mom you will be a musician if you really want to
My parent’s have long stated that I’m incredibly intelligent whilst pushing for university education. Always attempting to mold me to the visions of normalcy, but I’ve always struggled in school in a conduct manner. Always fighting those who try to control me and coerce me into their ways of thinking and living. I’ve long had a burning passion for all forms of art/culture all over the world, wether that be art, music, traditions, religions, languages, or the history of it all.
My parents have never supported my passionate journey’s that don’t lead to a traditional schooling or military path, it’s very frustrating because they never seem to be impressed/proud with how I improve, I have to instill my own self-gratification and thus I fear releasing music I’ve actually fully produced and sound engineered with countless hours of work all because I don’t think it’s good enough.
I want to bring art that moves people, changes lives, brings emotions out from inside of you; not money, nor fame.
To know that I could move someone and change their lives like music and musicians have changed mine would mean the world to me and honestly brings tears just thinking about it...
My dad enrolled me to be a musician and he doesn’t even play an instrument but we learned together started when I was 6, the piano and later in middle school learned to play the saxophone and trombone
I understand why parents are edgy about this happening.For instance, say if your a songwriter and trying to chase a dream it's hard to realize when to face realty and give up, I've gone through that over and over again. BUT that will never stop me playing music. I'd say get a proper musical education at uni or whatever ... and you'll be fine. Don't just rely on a talent, you need to network to make music your whole life
My compositions are my kids, every piece is like giving birth with joy, instead of pain. I guess it an aspect of not being able to have children myself, but I have also heard many other musicians and artists refer to their art-form or music as their baby's.
try to tell that to the parents who discourage their musical child.btw, I refer to music as my only best friend& baby
Yes music is addictive for many people but some exist without it. My old boss said he'd listen to military marches occasionally that was it for him. That child may forget the experience and not insist on being a trumpet player the years will tell. I get your point about now addictive music can be and the more innate talent one has the more compulsion may drive them to the profession. Your point leaves out economics and focuses on how powerful the draw of playing music can be. The tragedy for many is that they are so talented that it takes years of lost time before they can realize they can't make a living.
Marc Babin Well,I want to become a pop/R&B singer and I can live without my Math teacher right now. I know how to calculate using while numbers(or however you call them I am not a native English speaker so I don’t know). I know how to calculate a procent.Your point is irrelevant. I can live without Biology teachers or German teacher just as some of you can live without music. With hard work,dedication,passion and marketing intelligence you can make it believe me. The Weeknd,Halsey,Ed Sheeran,Lana del Rey and many more started from nothing.
I'm gravitating to organized sound!
Music, since it’s sonic, spreads to all its surroundings, so it is the most public of arts. If a violinist starts playing in a park, everybody close to him will be able to enjoy his playing. You can only see the Mona Lisa by going to Louvre, but you can hear Bach or Miles Davis in a Starbucks while ordering your coffee. And because of music’s public nature, the public assumes they own it, like air, free for all, and without giving importance to the fact that music is an intellectual product, created by someone who was able to do what the majority isn’t capable of. It is a matter of perception.
Thank you for this....have been playing music for over 60 years....professionally; taught both in school and private lessons; music has gotten me through and continues to get me through many rough times. Always my happiest when I'm involved in some musical endeavor. "Music is playing inside of my head - over and over and over again...my friend, there's no end to the music." Wonderful lyric by Carole King, songwriter/musician....
that's the thing here, all people want their kids to be doctors , engineers and lawyers but no one cares about what they want or about art , i mean I really feel regretful for wasting years of my life studying things that won't practically help me in any possible way in my daily life for some marks to keep passing on to the next level , I could have become a master in my instrument with all that wasted time , thanks to the internet , it offers lots of musical knowledge that schools here don't even bother to consider seriously ,the system is very industrial doesn't offer any useful information ,it kills creativity and passion .
Love that calming voice. I could listen to this unwinding for the evening. Ummmmmmm though I would have to say I was born up in a musical family, and raised up with musicians. My family and friends were all musicians. Growing up my folks encouraged me and wanted me to yep bee a musician, and guess what. I am a pianist for a living. That is my full time work. Yes. I have to agree that most musicians have a day job but not this guy. I am self employed and have my own business playing piano. I thank my folks for the musical influence and telling me “you are gonna bee a musician.” They were darn right, but the funny thing is I was the pianist of the family. Everyone else played other instruemtns or sang. With the exception of some friends who played piano. I was brought up with dissapline and hard work at the keys. I do nothing but play piano. I would not change that for anything.
My son is almost 5 and i encourAge him to play as many instruments as possible. Truth be told he says he wants to be the best guitarist to ever live. Hes 5 its possible!!
We have a nighty routine. I play my guitar, he sings, then he bangs around on piano, then flails on ukulele, then plays around melodically as a 5 yr old can on piano. Then he bangs around on the djembe drum. And if its not to late i plug in his electric guitar and let him use the slide. If u could send u videos i would. The kid loves music. He knows more musicians than most adults. And i dont mean soul selling pop artist i mean musicians. Im an open minded parent. Ill let m do and participate in amy sport he wants, or doesnt want. I will however encourage and push lightly ha into music. He can play 1 or 20 instruments but he will play at least 1. Anything he wants! Thanks for the encouraging and kind words! Cheers from lincoln ne!!
Essential technique for piano tempo exercise, metronome is very important tool. So many music students are ignoring the tempo requirements with metronome.
Its Christmas, and well, we don't even have our tree up or nothing. The last thing I expected was my parents coming towards me and talking to me about getting good grades. I´ve been accepted in two conservatoires, not the best but I'm still very satisfied with myself and my achievement. Then there are my parents, they are not happy about me going to study music and not even happy for me for being accepted. To be honest, they still worry more about my academic grades than my musical practice and I kind of feel rejected in a way. Maybe this video can help some parents, or not but please, if you're a parent watching this video, accept how your kid is, accept what they want to do. I understand that maybe you want your kid to be a doctor or whatever good-paying job is. But in the end, I believe that doing something that you really like is really the way to live, even though it doesn't get you a lot of money. If you're a parent, please, understand that being a musician is not a simple thing or "boring". It requires a very big amount of effort and dedication. So please, be proud of your kid if they are going to dedicate their life in music.
I'm 17 years old, and yes, I may be childish or unwise by being biased for music. But well, this is just what I think and what I feel when my parents just don't agree with me when I really want to dedicate myself into music.
Thankyou for reading and Happy Christmas
Music matters!
the reason i'm going to become a musician is because _my parents are musicians_
Lucky you
So lucky I cant be I have so much talent 😭
*Music came from imitating animals to throat singing, from religion and healing rituals to music therapy for mental issues, from essential to life to entertainment for rich... But it lives on*
Why did I almost cry😭
Alright, granted ... nonetheless, a lot of kids born to musician parents do not always take music through agency or free will.
Many of my musician friends in my *area who are very serious about music, are successful in the business.
*Location and connections are important with timing also being important to some degree.
So, you probably will not be able to be very successful (fame/fortune wise) being too far inland in the US and it really is who you meet/know.
I’ve wanted to take on a music career since the start of this year, when a few of my friends made me sing in front of my whole class. I had no ide I had such a voice. They told me to sin g Justin Bieber’s “Baby” so I did and blew my class mates away. I’m 13 right now.I just haven’t had the motivation or courage to tell my parents. My dad is in a band with his friends since he was a teen. My mom would think I want to do the music career isntead of school. My dad said that you should follow your dreams, follow your dreams and it will become a reality.
Thank you. I saw myself in this.. I am a son of a musician that didn't want me to become a musician.
🤔 🤔 Probably because ur dad saw what the reality of working in the music industry is like..
I first started in 4th grade as my music teacher, Mr Drexler would give a candy if you could follow his little gingle as he sang, "Which hand has the candy?" If you could follow the key and correct note pitch you won ." "That hand has the candy. " The most addictive thing ever ... the music. Music never revolved around my life, rather, I revolved around it .
My whole family wants me to become actor or doctor....but i follow my passion of becoming classical pianist
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart you were a great musician, Mozart.
"Little girls" will never feel the presure to support a husband and kids though..
Andybaby,but once the little girl becomes a woman..the pressure to get married & have a family starts.. this is the way society is...
My family approves of me being a musician because my whole family is full of musicians
Yes master i will fall in line and become a depressed slave to corporations
Unfortunately, now the coronavirus shows that no one needs musicians.
I'm 70 and have been carrying a grudge since I was in my teens and my adopted parents thought that if I followed my dream of being a musician I'd end up addicted to drugs because The Beatles were drug addicts ( everybody knows that don't they?). And it didn't stop there the whole family interfered in my life until they died.
The worst thing that can happen to anyone is not being able to play music when he or she loves to play music. It's unfortunate that really talented people have to give up because of some or the other thing. Financial crises is the most common one.
My entire family keeps discouraging my talent, by calling it a hobby...a pipe dream... trying to change my projected band in to a classical orchestra& choir.... to become our manager to steal 90 % of our money ( to give it all to his church)....... the only one in myfamily who is on my side with this..is my uncle do you think that the one who has music in her blood, should be discouraged in this way,or could being encouraged be more beneficial?
Andreia Reminiec I am really sorry for this , I hope this ends soon
Andreia Reminiec follow your dream if it be your calling. Let no parent discourage you
Don’t dissuade your kids to do what they want. Just come up a good B plan. You don’t have to be an attorney or a physician. Perhaps learn a trade or skill like plumbing or web development. If you go to school for music you can supplement your degree with technical, business, and/or math related courses via minors, certifications, or licenses and get a job.
I watch this video every time people try to dissuade me from being a musician. It saves me every time.
Essential technique is very important for music expression. Essential technique is making services for music expression.
I think that anyone who wants to be a musician should do it. BUT, they should ALSO have a trade or education in something else that they can fall back on. That’s just simple wisdom.
Randy Rhoads When you truly want something you won’t have a backup plan. Okay you might not become as rich as Madonna but you can make a living from music. The average income of a musician is 35,000 per year. Pretty well
The hell, children should be able to be a musician. I'm 11 and I play violin, and next year I'm going to be in the marching band. So idk why this advice is useful
(This isn't hate)
Most parents would want you to let it go once you reach a certain age. When we get closer to college age, that's when they usually want us to put the instruments down.
Surely you mean "grow up OR be a musician". You can't be both. (Joking, I play several instruments)
First time I hear such thesis in my life. I know that it's not easy to be rock, jazz, classic star etc. but "Nobody wants", for me with strongly mathematized education domain it's so called general quantifier so it's false thesis by the definition!
So many musical conservatory international students whose come from China are impossible to be world famous musician. Now to be piano teacher in Chinese musical conservatory very competative and very difficult. So many musical conservatory graduation students to obtain Master of music wanted to compete job vacancy of music teacher. Musical conservatory about job vacancy of music teacher just only recruit 2 or 3. How many musical conservatory graduation students to compete job vacancy of music teacher? Maybe 30 musical conservatory graduation students go to compete job vacancy of music teacher. Of course, according to our review, most of international students whose come from China didn't meet the requirements of essential technique. For piano faculty Chinese students, they were often never use metronome to exercise hanon and czerny etudes.
My birth mother is a musician. And my God, do I wish I was raised by her. I showed interest in music early, and was "allowed" to get music lessons. But when I really got my mind set on becoming a professional musician, my adoptive father really did his best to discourage it. He'd get these balding, bloated Italian guys from his tool and die shop to tell me how hard it was to make it as a musician. Of course, the market for Italian wedding band accordionists is limited. Not what I aspired to do. Thinking about it makes my blood boil. I think it's a bad idea to raise other people's children if you expect them to be a miniature you despite sharing no genetics.
I'm one of those people.. Who really wants to make it out as a professional lyricist... Im Asian... What I know is that most parents relate the music industry to drugs n negativity... I hope it will change someday..
I want to pursue a music career (violin) but I started at 11 years old, I think I have a small time to practice and become professional
Dude, I am just starting with the piano and I'm 17.
AFFE NOWU I want to be a singer and I’m 15 and I only started vocal lessons 6 months ago. I am not a bad singer but I need practice
having a day job for steady income and be nighttime musician is prob best for most of us ,full time musician can be a slave driver
My situation is similar. Im not exactly a musician but i love art. Ive always loved art and i don't remember a time i wasnt drawing. Im pretty good at it too and ive made money from it too but my parents still disprove of it. Because in my culture art is stigmatized. They don't care unless you make loads of money. I'm currently forced to study science and im at the end of highschool. Im honestly miserable and dont see the point of moving on with my life. At this point wether i pursue art or anytgibg else im too deep down in depression to ever be happy. I just wish they'ed crushed my enthusiasm and love for art when i was a kid. Before my skills and passion developed to what it is now so i wouldnt be the way i am today. I just want it all to end...
It doesn't matter with like music and dislike music. Essential technique such as Hanon and czerny etudes exercise they didn't meet the requirements of essential technique such as tempo requirements. They were often never use metronome to exercise. That's reason why they were impossible to be musician. Essential technique was combination with music expression each other. Without essential technique without music expression. Slowly tempo music style anyone can play, but virtuoso presto very fast tempo not anyone can obtain and perform. That's reason why to be musician very difficult.
U got me TRIGGERED with This One But it isn't my channel - don't want to hog the comments ... So i'll just check-in & shut up 👉👈
I don't understand why parents look down on musicians. Like, who doesnt like music? How can someone live without it? I sure can't. It'll depress me even if I put my instruments down for a day.
If your kid doesn't agree with you, that's YOUR fault as a breeder.
Don't like your kid's choices? Then don't have kids. Support the Stop Having Kids antinatalist movement!
Out of date! Love my kids to be musicians. Sure it's more common thes day
Antidepressants can make your need to make music go away. A person might think nothing can, but something can.
Well said! Yes, to drugs & pharamceuticals. They are brilliant complex inventions, which are the product of incredibly difficult time-consuming rigorous testing & experimentation, a massive collective effort.
That's why I dnt take mine
I'm not depressed at all, why would I need to take them.
My son is a musician. He started playing sax when he was 10. He's 13 now and plays both alto and tenor sax, electric bass, and keyboard. I can tell you first hand I have no power in preventing him from playing music. It seems to be part of his genetic makeup. There's times when he has music in his head and can't focus on anything else until he gets it out. His aspiration is to be the greatest rock saxaphonist that ever lived. check him out on youtube/goosesmom
goose, could singing be a part of my genetic makeup?
for me its gaming, but guess what, thats even worse than being a musician
All of my parents are musicians, my grandfather, my mom, my uncle, and alot of other parents. I'm pianist too, i have 13 years old and i can say that what she is saying is all false.
Deonix :v for you is false, others don't have parents that support them, my dad does but he tells me that I would be better studying law.
AiliceAryam srry, i didn't said that is just my case!, thx for it.
Most pay there rent by beeing a musicteacher. Almost none can make a living by playing on the stage.
My dad still tells me to cut my hair
Lol 😄
@Andybaby no, but she would be lying to herself, everyday of her life, if she does not live what SHE feels is life.
Yes, to drugs & pharamceuticals. They are brilliant complex inventions, which are the product of incredibly difficult time-consuming rigorous testing & experimentation, a massive collective effort.
so you're against music and arts, but support drugs and all that chemical stuff? wow, just wow..
+yoopeedeedoo As do you, since entertainment of ANY kind sends signals to the brain and the chemicals/molecules in the brain generate the good (or bad) feelings that you. What we call "drugs" or "food" is just molecules. There exists no universally agreed definition created by any higher power that separates "food" from "drugs".
@@zudiyupidiz3356 Yeah. Impossible for your little mind to grasp alternative ideas. Drugs, vaccines, pharmaceuticals are incredibly USEFUL, PRACTICAL. Music is not. Undergo surgery without anesthesia next time if you don't believe me.
@@theultimatereductionist7592 Lmao what do you want from me its been 4 years.
NO! to the arts & entertainment. Sorry, but we can live without fantasy & entertainment. In all nations.
Survival & fairness come first: food, advanced medical science, advanced engineering to make our lives easier & less painful are infinitely more important.
ultimate reductionist..i was put on ritalin by a family doctor..( for something I wasn't severely hyperactive) and It dam'ned near killed me !Are you a scientist,or working for a parmacutical company?get the fuck out of here & stay out !People like you make me physically ill!
He is a true piece of shit. A Pure lump of toxic stink.
no doubt,Vincent
Fuck you. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY FROM MUSIC?! DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE A PASSION FOR MUSIC, TO POUR YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO A PERFORMANCE, TO FEEL THE FEELING OF SATISFACTION ONCE IT IS OVER?!!! Food and necessities are important, but people need to keep your brains active. Entertainment is one of the leading factors in that. But I guess that you wouldn't understand how a musician truly feels when making music, calling it inferior and unnecessary you little jerk.
Whatever, really, not all engineers, doctors, physicians etc, are successful a lot are teachers, work for others and are not really planning on solving or discovering something. If you put a musician in one of those careers you'll only get failure because what that person is important at is making music, I realized this because I was constantly thinking I am not good enough just because I want to become a musician but you see, music saved me from depression, doesn't matter how much effort I need to put into it to make it, doesn't matter if I have to spend from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm practicing because I love it, I can't imagine a life with music. On the other hand I can't imagine doing all of that I just described with other career.
Thats false my parents greatly approved of me playing guitar
payton,you're lucky... my parents never wanted me to play any instrument..much less sing( this is my talent) & it screwed me up for the rest of my life !
Andreia Reminiec im so sorry, dont give up
payton,you were lucky enough not to have my parents.. we'll buy the guitar fro you..
but you're not playing it
Andreia Reminiec sorry about that so sad that they wouldnt let you play instruments
yeah..that's why I'm so lousy at playing both guitar & piano..
but ,i Sing
