When I was a kid, even though my family doesn't really any musicians, I have always got support to start playing. At the very beginning, I was very interested in learning how to play the piano. All I was interested was to play rock n roll / oldies music and this is what I would imagine me playing on the piano :
After a long time of playing small kid keyboards I borrowed from a friend, my parents got me nice 5-octaves "arranger" keyboards which I spent hours playing Later on, quite later I have shown interest in playing the guitar - this was mainly in order to be able to enter a local school band. Now to cut the long story short, I must say that looking back now I was very lucky to receive support from my parents when it comes to music. Of course, there were tons of moments where I would play (loud) and I would get : "turn that down immediately and similar comments" which I would literally see as "sabotaging my musical career hahahah " . I'm so glad now that I picked up music as a kid and stayed with it as it makes me really happy and it is what I like to do. Of course, I can't blame any parents in not having a belief in music as a choice for their kids but it must be extremely hard for those to stick to playing in such non supporting environment? I made it a bit easier for my parents as my school grades didn't suffer much so they didn't have that "excuse" for limiting me. How are your experiences with parents and the choice of playing music as a hobby or way of life? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Great stories guys!
Love this one: "take a cat, plug it onto a 220v socket and you have AXL roses at home......." ...because its true First music that hooked me at a very early age were The Beatles. I played a record just for fun, still remember the exact song: ...and it was the eureka moment for me and that was the moment which defined what kind of music I listen to and what I'd like to learn to play @fzalfa - great to hear your kids are interested in learning to play an instrument. I think it is important to be able to experiment with different instruments at the early age as that is the only way for a kid to find the one he really likes and finds fitting. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
