I have no motivation to play piano, and I want to play other stuff. My parents won’t even listen.
omg same!
Same :/
i hate it and they say you would thank me when i grow up but i will never like it
I'm glad I'm not the only one that also hates playing the piano. I wanted to play the songs I enjoyed listening to and learn the basics and just play what I wanted to play, but my mom and my teacher were like You have all this piano homework due in all week and do one line at a time and this and that and I just wanted to die. I never asked for all this homework and I never wanted to play classical music I just wanted to play my favorite songs and chill. My mom won't let me quit because she says it'll make me smarter and I'll get better scholarships but I don't care about that stuff and now I regret saying I wanted to play piano again. I don't know what else to say I just wanted to play the songs I wanted to play but my mom ruined the piano for me and now I don't even want to touch it anymore. This is how to make someone like me lose their sanity.
@@henchen8990 aw that's sad, but classical music is really good though. Do you enjoy listening to Chopin? Like nocturne 9 2, nocturne c# minor and op 64 no 1 and 2 and many more
my mum and dad are basicaly forcing me to go to piano lessons i like music but i dont want to play piano, i know my teacher charges way to much, and my parents dont have the money im gonna show them this video thank you.
i showed them and they said "dont be silly"....i want to die
Im Funny I Swear Exactly! My mom said it’s good for my future and get a good job, but I just hate it!!
I know exactly how you feel...sometimes I just feel like I wish I was never born because of this stupid piano!!!! I just want to show them I HATE IT.
..they just dont understand.
I’ve been forced to play piano since I was 5... I hate it
I don't blame you at all.
10 years ago I was 5, my parents wanted me to try piano, been playing ever since. Honestly I've enjoyed it plenty. However, recently I've hit rock bottom. I feel like I can't play, I can never play piano to my own expectations. Even playing the minute waltz, I feel so slugish. Recently, I've just been getting really depressed over piano. I seriously feel I should quit, but I don't want to throw away these past 10 years of piano. However nowadays, piano does nothing but brings me down, making me depressed, and it feels absolutely horrible.
dabbing toaster I want to quit but my parents gets really mad at me when I bring up quitting
Same here
Same here
relate to this on a high level
If you keep playing it's possible that you get into depression.
I quit, and I love it. I can play whatever I want, not whats in the books. It depends on the person, but my advise is quit if you know you will like piano better. I would suggest quitting if you want to after 5 years.
I hate piano. The teacher keeps yelling at me for playing one note wrong and I hate piano theory. I want to quit, but my parents said I have to get to level 8, and now I am at level 8, she said I have to finish level 10. I hate her for that.😞😞😥😠
I know how you feel and I feel very sorry for you.
I'm curious. Did you continue with piano lessons,? My son is protesting it. He's been playing for five years, and he's very good at it. Recently, he says he wants to quit. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this.
I love music, but now I quit piano.
I don't like to stress myself out.
Same here i hate my mom
@@adambram I’m in the same situation. Grade 5 but I have just lost interest in the grades.
I am not a piano player anymore. I don't have that talent. My late mom forced me to take piano lessons and even though I struggled at first, my strict piano teachers recommended me to practice at home to get better. I hated piano lessons and I quit at age 14 because I wanted to do something else such as video games and admire nature.
Same here. I felt less stress after I quit piano. I've never felt so free. I don't regret quitting piano and it's honestly the best decision I've made in my life.
I HATE PIANO SOOOO MUCH IT SUCKS AND MY PIANO TEACHER IS SO MEANNNN MY PARENTS IS FORCING ME TO DO IT AND I HATEEEEE IT AND ARI IF YOU SEE THIS NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
Period, I literally feel the exact same.
@@strongerspade6344 me to
AGREED & UPVOTE
I've failed my 4th grade piano exam and I don't think I can continue anymore. Its hard for me to practice and even though I love piano I feel like its something I just can't do like reading the notes and stuff
why am I watching this if I know my mom won’t let me quit anyway because “yOull rEgrEt noT leArnIng iT beCaUse i qUit as ChiLd” even though I’d been doing this stuff for the PAST FOUR YEARS AND IVE BARELY IMPROVED BECAUSE I HATE IT AND PRACTICING MAKES ME WANT TO SMASH MY FACE INTO A WALL
Omg same
Same here
Yeah same :C
Argh I can relate I've been playing since I was six and my mom keeps saying that I'm good at it but the thing is I don't enjoy it at all. She won't listen it's so annoying.
i can relate, i started bawling my eyes out because i just wanted to do my homework LMAO
I thought piano was a good experience but now it’s kind of boring and I don’t like it, I feel pressured because my family does music and my parents make me do this so I feel obliged to do piano, I have to do the piano books when I dont want too, and my parents also make me learn other songs from RUclips and I hate it, I don’t think I’ll even use this in the future to be honest because I’m more into other stuff like coding or drawing, but not music, I’m scared to tell them because I don’t wanna disappoint them but at the same time I just don’t like doing it, and if I try to tell them I feel they’re just gonna blame it on something I like to do like they’re gonna say “oh it’s because of those video games” so I really am scared to tell them
Edit: now just because I wanted to relax on a Saturday day they got me piano lessons for being lazy -.-
It's nice if a kid has an opportunity at least. If they end up not continuing, then it's on them, and they will always know that they had the chance. That was my approach at least to my own kids, since I always wished that I would have had that opportunity as a child.
i am a kid and my parents wouldn’t let me quit and my teacher makes me do 30 pushups if i make a mistake
Don’t make them feel like they lost their chance though
As a kid who's parents think like you, the amount of pressure it puts on the child is Insane. If you didnt have the chance, piano lessons arent exclusive for kids. Sign up if it's so great.
@@april.29 I convinced her to let me quit I'm so happy:)
It's not hat I don't like the piano it's just that it feels like I'm getting stabbed
I just hate to do the scales on the piano, I forget them I put a lot of pressure on them.
i really want to quit eventhough i love it. Even if i quit i can still see myself playing the piano. It’s just ive been taking lessons for more than 5 years. I’ve rarely performed in front of people because of my self consciousness. Yeah i kinda regret that. But that thing made me realize i need to work more on my self confidence. I dont feel like taking lessons anymore. I just want to play the piano and work on my self confidence.
Something to tell all the parents who wont let their children quit. JUST BECAUSE YOU KID IS GOOD AT PIANO DOESNT MEAN THEY WANT TO KEEP DOING IT.
omg yes!
My mom keeps saying “Oh you’ve come so far so you have to keep going” while piano is driving me to the point of true insanity
showing this to my mum real quick
Facts
yes my mom says you will THanK Me WHeN yOu grow up
I want to quit but I know that I will regret it. I just don't want to go to lessons or be forced to practice at home. My mum always argues with me over me practicing. I don't know what to do. Please help
same, totally same... I can feel you.
i feel you
I hate piano- I made the biggest mistake when I have 6 I wanna learn an instrument and I choose piano then my parents some how sign up for my exam and now- I have to do exman and the teacher is so strict... :(
I really want to take private lessons for saxophone, but I currently play piano lessons. My parents that I have to reach a certain level of music
theory and chords in order to quit. I'm planning on taking saxophone lessons soon, but I still have to take piano lessons! I really want to devote my
time into the saxophone but whenever I say that I want to quit piano they just say that our piano teachers recommends it and she knows better than me. How do I convince them to quit?
I could tell as quite a young kid that I was rubbish at piano and would never be any good. My parents let me quit and I am so glad they did, because I could focus on schoolwork that I was actually good at. I love music and the sound of the piano but sometimes you have to stop wasting time on activities that are never going to go anywhere.
Ikr
My mom and dad are forcing me to go to piano lessons I really want to learn stuff like Trumpet or something jazz like. My parents say it's good for my brain which I belive but they can't even TRY to make another exuse.
I've never related to a comment section this much :) Like how I'm not the only one who wants to quit piano after many years of hate for it.
15 years ago I asked my parents if I could quit piano lessons because piano teachers are fucking evil and wouldn’t let me learn what I wanted to play. 5 years later once they finally allowed me to quit, I swore I’d never touch one again, and to that I still hold. Fastforward 5 more years, in Afghanistan I discovered I had a knack for the harmonica. I’ve still never touched a piano, and never ever will again, but learning an instrument myself on my own, I finally got to learn all the songs my fucking nun teacher never would let me learn and have fun with. I still have no intention of ever touching another piano.
I have been playing the piano for about 6 years . And I also play the violin . And my parents not being musical think that the piano will help with my violin witch it does not ! They are so mad that I want to quit they want to know where the piano is going to go . I said to sell it but they won’t . I will show them this video will come back with what they say !
Piano is the reason I never had friends outside of school growing up. I wanted to do football. “NoOoO” I wanted to do hockey “NoOoOo”, soccer “NoOoOo”, cub scouts “NoOoO”, karate “NoOoOoO”. I JUST WISH THAT THEY WOULD JUST LISTEN TO ME!
i was going to go to my best freinds hose for the first time in a year but geuss what.
piano no you will stay here and play piano my parents yes
I used to love piano until I was 10 there's to much pressure I told them I wanted to quit but they didn't care
Been doing piano for almost 5 years. Oboe for one year.
I hate it. SO MUCH. I want to do art and theatre.
But my parents won’t let me quit.
S a m e I just wanna. Draw
i hate it so much and my parents said i have to until i’m 15 and now that i’m 15 they’re saying 17
Parents be like: Consent? Having your own wants and wanting to quit something that is stuck and hatable forever? NOT ON MY WATCH!
I've been telling my parents for a super long time that I want to quit piano, my piano teacher finally moved away and I thought I could quit. Then my dad found a new piano teacher whos super judjy, he flat out told me my piano had sounded horrible the past few weeks!
Piano is only good if you actually enjoy it most of the time. It is an art, it should invoke your creativity and thinking, but for most, it just keeps them at a never-ending plateau and causes sadness gets boring because you are only allowed the play the boring stuff based on your level. Parents should maybe think about that before they get angry at their kids.
I've been playing piano for a few years now but I have never done grades. I feel as though it's not worth it to continue lessons, because all I do with my teacher in those 20 minutes is progress a bit further into the song - I could do that myself, it just might take a little longer. I also hate missing classes in school for these lessons; it feels like I'm falling behind in school. Should I quit lessons? I'm planning on continuing playing piano at home, but I just feel like the lessons aren't worth it, especially with the ratio of the things I learn during the lesson to the cost.
exactly bru the exact same shit with saxophone with me, I'm fine with actually playing it and all that but i hate missing lessons for it and practicing a required thing at home, just makes me feel super stressed
@@ufcdaddy yeah I totally get you and actually I've stopped now, and I feel a lot less stressed - plus I never miss lessons! like some would say it's awesome to miss lessons but even if it's a test or something not so fun I'd honestly just sit through it because I want to know what's going on. I also hated asking a teacher to let me leave for my lesson cuz they sometimes would be weird about it and it was just so complicated.
my parents have been forcing me to play piano for a long time, I enjoyed it at first but then I just wasn't interested in it anymore, I found this beautiful instrument called a kalimba but I don't know how to convince my parents to let me get one, I told them I'd buy with my own money but they say I have to be good at piano first, how can I be good at something I don't care about??
My parents forced me to take them. I hated the lessons. I am now a public school music teacher and so glad they made me take them!
I wanna quit so bad. Like I've been playing it for 4 years I hate it. My parents forced me to do it and I have no say in what I want to do. Not saying I'm not grateful but its not one of my interests.
i dont want to learn the piano and i want to learn a different instrument, but my parents wont let me. help.
with my first piano teacher i kinda liked it but towards the end of my time with the teacher i started to hate but then i found a way out of it. my mom then got me another piano teacher and i resented my mom for it and then she moved away. I repeatedly told my mom to stop putting me in piano cause i HATED it. my mom then put me with my current teacher and i hate it more than i ever had
This is the exact same situation I am in!!!
I really want to quit piano mainly because I don't like it, but I take violin and I love it. I don't hate music. My mom keeps forcing me to take piano though.
It looks like I am regretting trying to learn piano. Because it's really frustrating to learn. I already learned the song for about month but still taking wrong notes. Not just a single note but CHORDS.
I guess I just have to listen to pro classic pianists or piano entertainers.
But I have to focus on something else.
Quit piano
I want to quit but my shit dad doesn't want me to quit for no fucking reason
oi my dad too
My mom is forcing me to do piano even though I told her I didn’t want to do it anymore because it’s not my type of music, I want to play the guitar. My aunt always says to me “I wanted to play the piano when I was growing up and I still do” to try and guilt trip me into continuing to play the piano even though I don’t like it anymore, I know how to read the music but my problem is my motivation and happiness. I’m not happy with playing the piano, I don’t have any more motivation to play the piano like I did 1 year ago because I’m not happy. See I already have a friend who plays the piano and I feel like me and him should play different instruments so me and him could make music together. I just don’t think they would except my choice in wanting to take guitar lessons, and I don’t want to disappoint them.
I told my kids they can quit piano. But I also told them that I would be cancelling the Wifi service. My kids now play piano.
Do they enjoy it? Is it something they feel purposeful doing? There are better extracurriculars than piano.
@@aaronlo6952 Enjoyment is irrelevant. They need discipline and time management skills instead of addiction to video games and TikTok.
@@aaronlo6952 Do you have kids? Today’s kids don't like ANYTHING that requires work ethic and discipline. They only like things that result in the release of dopamine...like video games and watching TikTok. My kids don't like sports, playing outside, reading, writing, talking with friends, arts/crafts, gardening, caring for animals.....NOTHING! They only like video games and TikTok.
@@rashaud99 well mabye your just a bad parent 🤷♂️
@@benjamincorby2218 I beg to differ. Good parents do what's best for their kids regardless if they like it or not. Kids will eat burgers and chocolate bars for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you let them. But as a parent you have to be willing to not be controlled by their desire to only do things they like.
I hate piano. I wan’t to stop but my parents won’t let me. Every single time I go to piano class I feel like crying, or I actually cry.
Me too. You are NOT alone. I like my parents, but gee, they can be so egotistical, thinking you're opinion doesn't matter and that they are always right.
Im trying to play sheet music but its too hard so i might quit and my dad is spending money :(…
I knew it was time for me to quit when my grandma and mom brought up me quitting because I wasn't practicing
And that time I didn't cry at the idea
It's been 3 years and I started playing a little again just some of my old peices and it was actually really fun and enjoyable
I forgot how much I enjoy playing, especially when I don't have any pressure on me or anything and I can just play because I want to
do you have any advice if you’ve been doing piano for 4 years but aren’t seeing any progress?
Hi Eden what sort of things are you playing and why do you think you aren't making progress?
I really I don’t want to do piano anymore…. But my dad already payed for the whole year. But I REALLLLY don’t want to do it, what I want to do is theatre. But I don’t know how to tell my dad I don’t want to do piano, It’s just to hard for me and I just don’t like it.
I was a weird kid. There was a piano in our home that my oldest sister had purchased. At age 6, I started telling my mom that I wanted to take piano lessons. I started lessons at age 7, enjoyed every minute of it, & stopped at age 17. My parents never had to tell me to practice. Plus… we didn’t watch more than 30 minutes of TV per day, & there was no technology like internet & cell phones.
I been playing since 2015 or 2016 and I still haven’t even learned 10 actual piano pieces because note cards I mean pieces like bouree I haven’t even finished it I still don’t like it and when I say I don’t wanna play my mom tells me I’m acting miserable look I love music but learning piano isn’t playing a bunch of pieces written by other musicians I love the drums I’m good at that I wanted to learn how to play the piano for my music I’m a rapper and beatmaker I know how to do chords but reading off music isn’t doing any good
Honestly I hated the piano my teacher was awful. I partied as soon as I could quit. Would never force my kid to learn piano or do instruments. I stuck with sports lol 😂
I didn’t quit piano lessons. Piano lessons quit me. (My teacher quit and I can’t find a new one.)
Let your kid quit if they have been struggling and hating piano for a long time and if they think that piano isn't their passion.
My teacher is so nice. But I hate hate hate playing piano and my mom says that! (I regret quitting) I just wanna draw. Seriously, my life is pretty good but I would be so happy if I didn’t have paino practice/lessons. I hate lessons to not just practice. Help. It litany takes me hours just to get the motivation to practice. (I don’t have a choice for going to practice). I don’t have the courage to send this to my mom. I love my mom but I hate that she makes me do this.
Im going to russain ballet acedemy because piano is just skicing of fingers and pressing stuff
My mom an da want all the family to be able to playmusic but i dont want to i want to learn something else an i dont want to play music o dont want to i like gymnastics an i tell them there wasting there money im gonna show them this video
Did showing them this video work?
People quit because they're not satisfied with their progress. Note reading is translation, not music. Theory is totally bull, a waste of time.
It's not that I dont like piano, it's just that I'd rather stick a fork in my eye if it means I can quit
Parent excuse starter pack:
"You'Ll rEgreT iT aFteR yOu quIt" even though you'll regret wasting time on something that will make you no money(unless you are Mozart-leveL), and makes you hate life and feel trapped.
"You enjoyed it, and its just a plateau!" even though I only enjoy it around once a year when I'm having a good day and the plateau has been on for at least 4 years.
"eXcUseS! iT is BecaUse yoU're laZy" when you don't practice daily and aren't seeing results, even though it isn't something you feel like gives you purpose.
there are probably more.
Piano is only good if you actually enjoy it most of the time. It is an art, it should invoke your creativity and thinking, but for most, it just keeps them at a never-ending plateau and causes sadness gets boring because you are only allowed the play the boring stuff based on your level.
The problem is that today's kids only have interest in TikTok and video games.
No 💀
