  • One of the absurds things I’ve noticed is teaching how to play instruments to people who do not listen to music regularly — and thus did not develop their musical taste yet — and do not know what to play. In my experience, learning an instrument for the sake of knowing how to play it, rather than to play music that you like is not very productive.

    So, we end up with what you described: kids who know how to play the Good Stuff™ because their parents wanted to, but hate it.
