It's really true about the 'cultivating real talent' thing.
My parents fought me when I wanted to play flute because they didn't want to drop the cash. They finally gave in and I took to it immediately. First chair, from 4th up until I gave it up in 9th grades. I really enjoyed it. Haven't touched it in years, and I pawned my flute at 19 for Floyd tickets, but I know if I were to pick one up I could play it again np.
Let them choose and watch them succeed.
