Piano Lessons: Pros and Cons
08.20.04 | 7:20 p.m.

Mood: Indecisive

Music: - none -

Here is a list of pros and cons for the topic: Should I continue with the piano in September?

Pros Cons
  • they say that people who learn music at a young age, gets a mind that develops more thoroughly and faster than other kids (AKA, they're smarter, LOL)
  • the $203 keyboard is already on discount
  • high school isn't that hard, Amy and Alice claim
  • if I learn one instrument, learning another may make it easier
  • I've already started learning the piano, I don't want to give it up just after two months
  • I could just buy the keyboard and a book and learn by myself
  • if I continue with the piano and other instruments, it's a way to "expand my knowledge", pfftt!
  • having classes every week will enforce me to keep practising (I hate having to failing classes, no matter what kind they are)
  • and practise makes...er...near perfection
  • if I love the piano that much, I'll keep learning and practising, even with or without classes
  • always look on the bright side, they say -____-;;
  • if I take lessons, then I also need to practise, which would mean I need my own piano/keyboard
  • the keyboard costs $203
  • lessons also cost ?/week
  • lessons are on Monday nights from 7-8 PM
  • since the lessons are on Monday nights, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with high school
  • Band is also one of my courses next year, and so, along with the piano, I'll have to learn another instrument too
  • Band isn't something I can easily quit either, unlike piano
  • piano isn't exactly at the top of my "Instruments I Wanna Play" list
  • learning by myself isn't always good 'cause there's no one else there to correct me when I've made a mistake and didn't even realize it
  • How far am I really willing to take music in my life? Is learning music a necessity for the future?
  • if I do keep playing the piano, am I going to get any better at it?
  • I've already been slacking off practise for a while now, with no classes and all...
  • if I'll only practise when it's a "must" to do so, what'll happen when I stop taking classes? Will piano still be a priority?
  • I'm a slacker, a very big one; I tend to procrastinate.
  • so far, there are more cons than pros

Er...help anyone?
