i played piano for a while early in high school. was pretty good for a beginner, it was a Special Interest even, but later became disenchanted the following summer. forcing me to play in a recital, and the massive guilt tripping if i refused certainly did not help. it was with other musicians, thankfully so not all the attention was on me.
i still keep my old lester spinet, it's a desk now. it was always out of tune, my dad apparently called a guy to help come tune it but he never came.
i took mandatory violin lessons in 4th and 5th grade, no bad memories there.
