The reason I most disliked practicing was that I always got an
audience of my mother, my brother & occasionally my father.
They came into the den while I was making these terrible
efforts to learn a piece, sat down & STAYED. It embarrassed me
terribly. I'd have invited them to listen if I'd wanted them
there. Sure, when I had learned a piece, I'd enjoy them
hearing it, BUT NOT TILL THEN!

Of course, each child reacts to things differently, some are
sure to DESIRE their parents there during practice. I didn't.
