dedication and sacrifice

[rainbowjimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

My daughter's best friend is going to a performing arts high school to study 
classical piano. She felt she needed the comraderie and competition to really 
get off her butt and play. She's leaving all her friends and family in the 
middle of her junior year. This is a kid who's played every day minimum of 3 
hours a day with no exception since she was tiny. Her mom and dad drove her two 
and half hours one way to her piano instructions every week.

How many of us are willing to make those sacrifices and show that much 
dedication? Where would harp players find that level of intense instruction 
even if we did make the choice?
