oi yumi-chan, its ok...i also play the piano, like you. i've been through what you're going through..so now, i dont take lessons anymore. (well for 2 years now) i just practice by myself...i sorta told my mom, like "i get home at 4pm, im sooo tired" so then i dont get the lessons done coz im tired.^-^ (home lessons) my elder bro continues...in school, he took special music, (you can choose if you want a single instrument to learn) my mom told me that if i also want to take special music, i can only take PIANO....=.= (what's the point?) so now, im actually interested in the guitar. well since 4th grade, (hehehe im now in 6th grade) but she wont let me take the lessons so i have to practice myself.. dont give up.. you've come a long way and you'd regret it if you'd abandon your talent. (note:not all people can play it well.) ja 4 now.^-^

Trust me, you *don't* want to learn the violin. There's an unofficial rank to learning musical instruments - piano, flute, clarinet, guitar all rate down the bottom end of easy, as half the time you can teach yourself. Then you've got the major pain such as stringed instruments where you've got to figure out the intonation and the brass doesn't look like it's any easier either because they're always so out of tune. If you can, stay away from the violin. Unless you're deadly serious, willing to spend a few k on a good instrument, it's not worth it coz you'll just end up sounding like an angry alley cat not a very pleasant sound.

I remember taking Violin and Piano.. man..Violin is just too much dedication for me. Not that i had much of a life.. i was only 4 =\ but still.
Piano was fun though, but i understad what you're saying about stress. I alays freaked over piano exams.. mostly because my teacher spoke spanish and i didn't.. so i didn't know everything that i should have known during that time. and whenever i messed up i would always have to start over.. ><"

Aww Flute isn't that easy as well ^^;; you have to really work on your diaphram *However u spell it* and if you don't get the right breaths you'll end up fainting hahaha. And if you don't get the really high-notes right...*shivers* you'll sound like my mum singing ^^;; and that is baaad haha. Yea violin looks pretty hard, the only tune I can play on it is mary had a little lamb and it sounds terrible!!! haha, but it is truly a beautiful instrument I really love it sigh... too bad I chose the flute ^^:; but I like the flute as well gahhh too much instruments I wanna learn!! I wanted to learn the harp as well, I really like that instrument And one thing I really hate sometimes...... is MUSIC THEORY!! GOD I despise that cursed book!!!
