Mother said "Too much. Don't you want to do just one, like PIANO?". She loved music. So I took piano 1st grade through high school. Majored in organ because I knew I didn't really like piano. Mother said in her diary, I read recently," I hope my children learn languages." She studied Spanish. I minored in French, tho' I wasn't good at it. I gave up Dance in 3rd grade tho' that's what I love. Am now in several once-a-week Dance groups. I was taking ballet, tap & piano. Mother said “Too much. Don’t you want to do just one, like PIANO?”.
