Why do asian parents have their children take piano??

[ch0coh0lic]

remember this....

yeah, my mom wants my bro to play the piano. since i was born in the PI, that really wasnt the case since we werent rich and all. but now that we live the the US, my mom is saying that my bro should play the piano since he's still young.

panda can hug the hell out of you...

I actually chose to start the piano (age 5) I have since regreted my decision but I'm signed to a 10-year contract with my parents. However only about 5 out of 30 students at my piano recital are Asian. Maybe it's because I take from a Caucasian teacher.

I don't play the piano. Heck, I don't even play an instrument!

I always wonder why my parents are willing to keep a piano in our house even if no one plays it confused .

One more night , I wanna be with you
Where I wanna hold you tight...

My mom inscited me to take piano lessons and I always refused.
"It's good for you."
"What's so good about playing piano anyways?"
"... It's just good for you"
... The ULTAMITE answer my mom gave me. Other times, she have told me that people will have a better judgement on me. rolleyes

It feels so right
Tonight…

Steretype 45: If you don't have a piano in your house you're not Asian. ninja or any other musical instrument. >_>;; *has about 4 instruments in house.*

i play piano not because my parents made me but i wanted to. But asian parents do encourage kids to take up an instrument, they just expect alot from us. Heck i know like 5 instruments.

OMG

I am going to be having my first EVER music lesson and my mum was bugging me to take piano but I'm taking the guitar cos I didnt listen to her LOL

That's weird i know what you mean though both my friends are cuzins and they do piano...maybe parents think it's sophisticated..it's kinda cool but not when everyone does it...i do it to but not anymore *whew*
