I'm a Post Grade 8 (ABRSM) Pianist, and I'm 18.

I started playing piano in 2024, with my mother as my teacher.

Since then, I've learned many pieces and in September I'm going to a conservatoire to study Music Education.

There's just one problem - I find that I don't actually enjoy playing...

I know this is quite a big thing and should probably have thought about it before but I just don't enjoy it.

I don't even get the satisfaction of finishing a piece.

I also struggle to properly get lost in music, whether listening or playing.

Does everyone face this problem? If so, do you have a solution, anything in particular that makes you enjoy it?
