I had a knowledgeable and demanding teacher who lived at the top of my street, so I couldn&rsquo;t make excuses not to go to lessons. It&rsquo;s not that I didn&rsquo;t enjoy it (I eventually did), but in the beginning it felt tough as a 5-year-old.</p> <p>Learning musical theory first, and not being able to touch the keyboard until further along, it wasn&rsquo;t much fun I thought. Later on, as I learned how to play other musical instruments at school, I was thankful that my teacher insisted on learning the fundamentals first.</p>
