My mum's a piano teacher and started teaching me as a very young boy—not to make a Mozart of me but rather because I asked (I said "please"). Piano is a big part of my personal history. Also, I've taught piano on an off since I was 14. I'm sure it colors my opinions in this thread very much. I don't see it as elitism or exclusiveness, though. I happen to have experience with this. I'm a lot more experienced with this than I am with anything else, quite probably.
I know you're not asking Kelly to put a vase to a piano string, but consider what it means to answer a simple question with a complex and wide open answer. "I'd like to learn piano", could be responded to by saying, "there are a million and one ways to learn," but it seems more like a crusade against the status quo than advice. Not that I have anything against challenging the status quo.
