Last month my great niece, who is 11 years old, came for a visit. We played duets, she on the violin and I on the guitar. Her timing is not so good. I had to listen to her every note and modify the beat many times so that we kept together.

If you have ever had to do that, you would realize that it takes so much fun out of playing that it would never become the norm. Only love makes it worth doing.
