I was forcibly enrolled in Mridangam classes at age 7. I had to beat out the same 4 notes for ever - I lost my patience after the first few classes and asked the teacher when I was going to get a hand at trying other things. I was told to not be impertinent and to shut up. I never did carry on for much longer, the teacher rejected me on account of all the questions I kept asking. I was dubbed disobedient. Cheeni
