Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I am a senior at a rural Kentucky high school, and one of my classes is beginning piano. Before the school year started, I decided I would try my best to learn an instrument. This class has been great so far, but today was a real struggle for me. We are getting into more complex music, complex for me anyway, and the deadline for playing is looming. I decided I would play today, but I stopped after I realized that my piano teacher wanted me to play on a piano that I had never used before. Even worse, the piano did not make sounds on certain keys. I said, "I am sorry for being so, you know." My teacher said, "Picky?” 

I felt awful, but I really did not want to play on a piano that was subpar and that made me more anxious than I was already. My grade depended on that performance, and I did not want to ruin it. I love learning, but the reality is that a love for learning does not always correlate with getting a good grade. Sad, but true. 

So, AITA, or do you guys/gals think I had a right to be anxious and say no?
