Oh, yeah, I went to the old-style Catholic schools, too. It wasn't discipline, it was military order! We didn't have a music program at all, though. My mother wanted all her kids to be able to play an instrument, because she always wanted piano lessons when she was a kid, and her parents thought it was stupid. So I got piano starting at age six. I only just bought my first tuba, though, and it evolved from liking to be on the lowest possible horn part. I never did pass the "size test" to be a tuba player. I have about a 100 pounds to go, and don't think I'll ever make it.
