It’s an oldie from 2015, but I still think about it whenever people talk about being talented at something.

“You’re lucky you had parents who could afford: a piano, an apartment big enough for a piano, time for you to practice besides your studies, and maybe even a music teacher”
Excuses. You can start practicing on a cheap keyboard or digital stage piano you can find at a thrift store that you can play on your bed. You don’t need to have a stand up piano to learn to play. With internet nowadays it’s very easy to learn the basics like learning scales and reading sheet music. And you can practice between studies. You don’t need to practice hours a day to learn some basic songs. Like 10 minutes a day can take you very far.
Ah yes, everyone who didn’t have the privilege of growing up with parents who actually care about their child’s hobbies instead of busy verbally and physically abusing them or had the money to spare to buy a working used piano, which I have never personally seen at a thrift store, instead of skipping dinner for a week is obviously making excuses.
While we’re at it, let’s also pretend that being taught by youtube is the same as having a real instructor giving you feedback and on a real piano. I don’t even know why we bother having schools or teachers anymore because after all, anything can be learned from the internet if you just pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Oh and don’t forget you parents better afford to buy you a smartphone or else goodluck watching those tutorials.
Never try anything!
It’s obvious from the comic that it doesn’t talk about the way you mention doing it.
Much better
