This actually was once a trigger for me. I was forced to play musical instruments as part of my upbringing and the memories are difficult. I had to endur both alto sax and the violin. It was excruciating. I was terribly tone deaf and even my instructors pleaded with my mother to allow me to give up. But, as always, she too took this personally as a stab in her back, that I was trying to humiliate her on purpose. Not a pleasant part of my life.

Ironically both of my children are musical.
