To be honest I think the best you can do is pay for the lessons, buy or rent the instruments cross your fingers and hope for the best!! :-)

There is nothing I can say or do to predict the future with any certainty that I am aware of.

But I will say that with some musical skill the world is her lobster. I have none and folk music has opened all sorts of doors. What I would have done with talent I could not even begin to guess....
