I've played piano for 5 years, and about 4 months ago I switched to a new strict teacher. I improved much from her but I cried a lot from her several scoldings every lesson. My mom says I should keep playing because I spend too much time on the computer. My dad says its just peer pressure from a lot of my new teachers students, he said he endured much more as a child and I should be grateful of my environment. He says I have no reason to actually quit. I was fine with her, but then I went to a new school and schoolwork and after school school activities took up too much time. My school also needed students to learn an instrument which would take dedication. I want to focus on this new instrument much more than the piano. My parents have the same answer and I can't find a way around them. Please help!
