• Answer:

  This is what I would say about your reasons for not liking piano: 1/ You'll find there are lots of things you have to do that you don't "want" to, many of them far,far worse than playing the piano! You don't need any "passion" for it. I left school at 16 and worked fifty hours a week in a dirty, noisy factory - I had no passion for that either! I'd have gladly swapped it for piano. 2/ Then practice enough - it must be soul-destroying trying to teach someone to do something when they just don't make any effort and no progress can be made because of it. 3/ That's another reason for continuing to play - who pays for the lessons, the piano, the phone, the computer? Who gives you the money you might spend whilst with your friends? Whose house do you live in? Who gives you everything you need? In return, until you ar an adult and can make your own way in life, there are some things you need to give back, things that will please them. Playing piano is one of them. 4/ No offence intended, but that suggests you ar selfish and need to grow up. I know you won't see it this way, but it doesn't matter that you "hate" piano (or school, or anything else).
