I'm the opposite (although I also watched Star Trek in my youth). My (Western) parents also got me to learn music, and I loved it. Still do. Not that I'm good: I've reached some intermediate difficulty level, but I really enjoy playing the classics, and discovering new music, as well as composing and mucking around with a computer and its incredible sound capabilities. Many like me wouldn't have found the wonderful gift of music, or would have found it very late in life if it hadn't been for our parents, so in a sense, I'm grateful for your offer. I do agree that one should stop making children do things once it's become obvious that they don't enjoy it. 12 years is too long.
