Why do asian parents have their children take piano??

[__melissa.exe]

I`m asian, and I`ve started piano since I was six years of age. When I had those recitals, most of the performers were asian. Especially this year, when I my score was distinction, most of them were asians??

I`ve always thought this weird .. what do you thinkk??  

[LiemOhNoes]

yes, yes, I also started piano at age 6... or 5, i can't remember. ALL of the performers at my recitals were azn.

I know .. it`s weird. It`s like asians are dominating over piano ..

I've been teaching myself how to play piano since I was 5. One of my very good friends helped me out, and he was really good, and he was asian... I really don't know that many other asians who play piano.

because playing an instrument is suppose to make you better at math and other school work, i dont play piano but my dad made me play the violin at 5

ahahaha i don't know either. i guess piano is something hard. & it builds character... like concentration, determination.. qualities they want us to have. therefore they make us play the piano. crying ahaha

I think I know why... My mom wants me to take piano lessons so I have another skill to offer when I'm working/in university (which ever comes first). If I'm in university or colledge, I may be able to teach others piano as a part time job to raise money for my own funds. I can also teach when I'm working (during weekends most probably).

It's because piano is said to make one's mind think more.... in engliish.. it's good for your brain.
