Why I was excused from my piano lessons



At the age of 8, I had received an ultimatum from my parents which roughly stipulated that they were no longer responsible for my piano school tuition. Why? In addition to my hands coordination problems, I had an incurable music sheet dyslexia and was also a perfect pitch deaf. Dealing with my piano teacher was another pure torture as a young child. Why do piano teachers always have to be so sadistic? This lady used to hit my hands severely with wooden sticks whenever I made mistakes. What is more, her Ma Fratelli (The mean lady from The Goonies) look-a-like old mother who always wanted to play hide-and-seek with me frightened me to death. As such, I was more than happy to accept my parents' statement.

Traumatized by a piano teacher, I never tried to learn music ever again. In fact, I was determined to focus on my career as a professional music listener until I was introduced to a solution for my music illiteracy. Circuit bending might be it.
