Maybe just not audio fan

I honestly don't remember whether I learned to play the flute in private lessons or group classes, but I'm 99% sure it was through my school. It was definitely at school, unlike my private piano and guitar lessons. Once I started band, no more lessons. No more real progress, either. I think wanting to "excel" (or wanting your child to excel) is vastly different from wanting to "participate."

I don't think in the past, group music classes (as opposed to ensemble rehearsals) were that uncommon in schools. Now it's different, of course. And I don't know any athlete from any of my schools, including college, who had a private coach or trainer - but I didn't go to any big schools where kids might have had professional aspirations, either.
