The same in Malaysia? In Hong Kong, most parents think piano is for getting into certain reputable schools. Or some school request students to learn one musical instrument. Their main focus is still on academic exams.
Ruth: Not the same thinking, but same concept. Parents here think that by learning an instrument, if the children do not do good academically, music is a 2nd choice for them to earn a living.
That's why my parents let me learn piano - as a 2nd choice. When I wanted to study music in University and my other subjects were doing fine, she didn't allow me. When I was making good money from teaching piano and I wanted to do banking, she objected again. In the end, it's whatever makes good money. She doesn't really cares about me.
Ruth: This happens in the society here too but luckily, not my parents. When I wanted to go for music specifically music therapy as my major, people think that I failed my SPM (the exam to enter uni). But when I told them my results, they thought I was crazy! So did my classmates...
