Many beginners give up on learning the piano even before they start, just because they are fed with stories of learning piano is a long and difficult process. You'd think I want to read about how to play the piano - but no, it was the spirit and teaching drama and insight that fascinates me. Unfortunately, I do not think my ears (very mediocre) or my skills (maybe to reach high altitudes, although I would adore to be able to reach the point of being able to play Beethoven sonatas and fugues of Bach) will probably never take me to the point of being able to be teachers themselves.
