I quit because I hated the music I was asked to play. When I was 5, I started piano with an amazing teacher (a local college professor) and made serious progress, both in skills and learning things like chord theory over the next four years. He would write out every piece I was to learn by hand in my book when I was getting started I moved and the teacher my parents found that I could walk to only selected pieces that I didn't like which were technically difficult, but didn't sound good to me even after I learned them. She had to figure out what level I was and go through boring books of theory that moved way too slowly. I only much later found out you could buy sheet music of artists I actually liked. I quit lessons and started composing instead, moving that to the computer when I got an Amiga 1000.
