Teach children the children to play piano

But the music has its place for Agnehta albeit in the private room in days rather than in public.

And right now Agnetha cares a lot about family life. 

The days are being turned on the farm where she now lives on the outskirts of Stockholm. And Agnetha says that where there is always something to do.

Bashfulness

But why is then the ideas that come to Agnetha most just ideas?

-We have done so much, both Frida and I, both with Abba and as solo artists.

If shyness

The singer also says that she is still shy, and unable to "show off".

-I am a strange mix, I'm both shy and assertive. I have always loved studio work more than to be on stage

But for listeners singing ABBA star, a small snippet.

Agnetha says to Lotta she knows that she is rarely in the public ABBA context.

But why is not that she did not want to, without the "cost of a little bit," as she puts it.
