Your comment is disingenuous at best. How would you like to listen to a kid trying to learn the same 3 songs for a year, almost every day, and failing at note 10 each time? Why is my moment of peace after work so valueless that it can’t be respected with a SMALL change of the kid using headphones to reproduce the sound of his instruments? I’m not saying don’t stop. I’m saying have the common sense to understand your child isn’t the next Mozart and put some headphones on him. I already can’t enjoy a nice sunny day on the weekends on my balcony without them running and screaming above me. At least give me a break after work.
Has it occurred to you I don’t live alone and would like to hear my partner? Or should I adjust all the time to someone else’s whims when they could reduce their noise towards all inhabitants of the building?
Go buy some soundproofing off AliExpress and/or go find something you enjoy doing without the expectation that those around you think you’re good at it.
Imagine pulling a strawman out of your ass while disregarding what I said. I didn’t say the kid should stop playing instruments. I said get him some headphones so that all the noise is contained to his ears. Or rent/buy him a place to practice. If you live in a building, you have a certain responsibility towards the rest of the inhabitants that share the living space with you.

Would you be offended if I said absolutely not?

Found the entitled parent.
Imagine saying this, totally unaware of how you sound moaning about other people having hobbies.
