I, too remember sitting at a piano with tears rolling down my face for an entire hour of my piano lesson, and the memories of failure that still float up when I think about playing/drawing/painting/just doing anything for fun. My creative life as a child has some scar tissue, but I'm trying to face it and embrace it so my son feels support for any developing musical or artistic outlets for expression. A great post.
