Music in particular I would kind of consider an exception, just because of the benefits of giving early musical education can help so much with acquiring the "language" while the brain is still in sponge mode, 4 to 10 years old.

If you're forcing your teenager to work at it day and night and to go to the conservatory etc, that's a different story.

My parents were rather strict with the music lessons, which I did sometimes resent at the time. These days I'm grateful as I couldn't imagine not being able to just play the music that's in my head. My parents a little less so, as they have heard "enough Prokofiev for a lifetime", and my polyrhythms make them feel like they have a "heart attack".
