My father was a great music lover and self-taught pianist. He was good enough to struggle through a lot of Bach, which was his usual fare.
I had piano lessons but never learned to sight read properly. I'd persuade my teacher to play my pieces herself to show me what they sounded like, then played them back by ear. My father discovered after a year of lessons that although I could play my pieces well enough, I couldn't actually read them off the page.
He was horrified. Had he been a bit more insightful he would have realised that this was a first step to improvising and playing jazz, which was my career for many years.
My father was a doctor. My brother must have seen him as a doctor and followed in his footsteps. I always though of him as a pianist since that was what seemed to give him the greatest pleasure.
