If you did not like your piano teacher, why didn't you find another one? I guess it is easy to be put off by a piano teacher you cannot get along with and some people if they are young, think that the next teacher will be just as bad. I am fortunate enough to have a good teacher. As mentioned, doing concerts can put you off. I belong to a music academy and we have one summer and one winter concert every year. I have just taken part in my first concert and enjoyed it. It was 'different' playing to an audience, but I think in some ways better because you are not being judged on your technical ability as you are in an exam or lesson. In a concert, you are simply giving enjoyment to others who come along to listen and if you play a couple of wrong notes, it is not the end of the world. It takes years and years to play to absolute perfection. Even Chopin had to start somewhere lol. As for getting bored with the piano, who knows, but at the moment I love trying new pieces and giving myself a challenge. I am currently trying to learn to play Moonlight Sonata
