It really is amazing to watch little kids entering a musical world.

My cousin (whose 5) just started piano lessons, and at his first lesson, he tried to tell his teacher that the keys were supposed to go "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, ..."

Kids are fascinated with anything. Hopefully he won't grow up like me, being able to do just about anything he wants technically, but with little fascination, thinking it's a pointless exercise. Very much like running a marathon ;) Emily, that is so beautiful. Are you a mother? If not, you'd be an excellent one, with your ability to see through a child's eyes. Jessica, I was surprised by my German student when I first assessed her note recognition skills and came across "H." Fun!

Jim, fascination does inspire inventiveness, doesn't it? Do you have any advice for motivating my bored students who won't get into the exercises? Sometimes I'm at a loss.

Karin, I love kids, and I don't want any. I relate to them really well because in many ways I'm pretty childish myself, and if I had kids I'd have to "grow up", in a sense. I suppose that wouldn't be bad, huh? Maybe...

Ok, I'll go :P
But I still hope he won't.
