My parents encouraged anything I tried to do. I was never told 'I'm just a girl so i can't which is awesome. It helped me become so much more confident and excited to try new things.
I choose piano/organ when I was about 6 and after bugging for a while they realized it wasn't just a phase and they bought me both and I took lessons for 10 years. I also played trombone & Saxophone in school. They didn't have a lot of money so I realized much later just how much they had to save and do to buy me those instruments.
Financially most of what I wanted to do/try was on me to figure out how. I think that taught me the best lesson of all...
