Every kid that I know who was forced to do their 20 minutes of piano a day now doesn't play piano and can only play with sheet music in front of them. They can't improvise, they seem to take no joy in the music.

I was the kid who wanted a keyboard and guitar but didn't get one until I could afford one in my twenties, then I learned just enough to be able to be creative. People say I'm good at piano but technically I suck, I'm just creative and expressive with limited tools.

It's an interesting phenomenon, the adults who are technically great at piano, but can't play anything without it being written in sheet music.
