| Re: "Distractions"...
Many of my best students who have become a success in music were poor kids who had few distractions and little else to do besides practice. The rich suburban kids by and large had so many distractions that they never went beyond a superficial level in music. Though to be fair, there always were a few of the latter who were so motivated that they really worked their asses off. But not as many overall. In my of course limited experience.
