Are both the learning and the playing expensive? If not, then what part would cost thousands; learning? playing? If playing, is it because the instrument is very valuable? | ||

Was the cost an actual amount of money that had to be paid? Or was it more of an opportunity cost? Did the cost come in... ...transportation? ...paying the teacher? ...paying for equipment? ...paying to rent out a space to practice? ...paying for another good (not musical equipment)? ...paying for another service (not the teaching itself)? ...an unforeseen event? Like while you were on the way, you got in a car accident? | ||

I'm having flashbacks to this comic: http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=040407 Did he press the buttons... eleventy times?Close enough... ***************** SPOILER ******************** The music was made by pressing the buttons on the phone: If you press any of them they make an individual note. If you learned and perfected something a few pages, imagine how much it would cost in the phone bill! |
