Kids and music lessons: why do many promising players quit early?

Good to know I’m not a musician even though I play two different instruments 3-4 hours a week each.

I hate playing with others and stick with jam tracks for accompaniment. I never play in front of others either. Super awkward.

I do occasionally put a recording on YouTube, but the listens are never more than a dozen per year, and I don’t promote it ever. Not sure how I get the listens that I do get.

Not sure what it is I’m doing, but apparently it’s not making music. I do love what I do, and find the craftsmanship and technique as pleasurable as any video game.

Of course you are a musician! Just because some arse tells you aren’t because of x, y and z. Everyone is a musician with voice, hands etc.

Do it cos you like it (like anything else) and that is the reason.
