Oh crap. Why do someone want to do this with their own children?
I am especially puzzled about the purpose of:
"- play any instrument other than the piano or violin
- not play the piano or violin."
I just don't understand the logic behind this two restrictions.

Of course, in reality that doesn't happen. Children will rebel when they come to that age. As for the no violin / piano. I think you have it wrong. It's "no musical instruments other than piano or violin."

- RYUUSEiiSTAR 13y ago"Never allowed to: - play any instrument other than the piano or violin - not play the piano or violin.” you read it wrong.
- sliverstorm 13y agoIt's intended as a somewhat humorous wording of "you MUST play an instrument; your choices are piano or violin, NOTHING ELSE."
