That leaves me with two choices:

a) forget about my interest in music and pipes
b) have a fool for a teacher, and enjoy the progress and positive feedback from family, friends and neighbours as I improve (I have no plans playing at ex-presidents' funerals or such)

I believe I will settle for alternative b)
option A is no longer an option. I've wanted to play the pipes since I was 5 years old. I am now 16 and I play with skill. Someone should make a movie about it. Based on a true story.
