What Will They Say?

What will they say about piano when they grow up? Our kids, I mean. It's an interesting thought. Thousands of parents the world over have stopped their kids' lessons for one reason.

And we have yet to meet a single adult who says, "I hated it that my parents made me stick with music." An interesting thought to consider.
