I started violin in the first grade. This was NOT my idea. I wanted to play the drums. The parents were not keen on this. I played violin, not for myself, but to keep my parents happy. By the time I got to 6th grade, I goofed off enough so that my parents got the hint that I really didn't want to do this--to tell you the truth, I just did not have the talent to play.
I finally got to take up the drums in college. I wasn't all that great, but I could play bass drums in the pep band at hockey games. Even got to take a class in it! The reason I don't take it up now is because of money and priorities. I have a lot going on in my life, activity-wise, and the time/cash isn't there.
But I do love music.....
