When I was taking accordion lessons, I hit a time when I just did not want to practice the lessons, but wanted to play ... so I stopped taking lessons, but continued to play ... my parents were friends with my accordion teacher and told him that I played every day, but wasn't practicing scales or anything like that ... the teacher suggested that they not allow me to play the accordion ... I didn't for a while but then 'gave in' and went back to lessons ... I remember that it was almost one year to the day from my prior lesson ...
