As with programming, I think you really need a certain drive. My little sister was supported to learn an instrument, but I took it and taught it myself, mostly to impress my family. Then on I played in bands, and I am still a musician. And my sister even though she was forced to do lessons doesn't play at all. One of my best friends started guitar, but then left it, because it is just so much work. I think the drive, and the need for showmanship are so important.
