I wish I’d had this with my piano lessons instead of the traditional do-the-grades approach, it was v much a chore. These days I play quite a bit to add layers to my band’s stuff and wish I’d stuck at it past 15/16 years old. So useful now but I struggle with technique stuff
Don’t get me wrong, it was years of reluctantly doing grades before that point!
I also had piano lessons till I was 10-11 and gave that up to play the drums, which I regret - ‘fun’ instruments are a lot easier to play to a competent standard than traditional ones.
