   They are, aren't they?   :)   
   It's been fun to watch my son and his friends grow ....musically.  I wish   
   more teachers would encourage their students to play in groups.  I took   
   lessons when I was a kid and never really did much with it.  You can see   
   that happen to most kids in lessons.  They're excited when they start, then   
   get bored or start looking at music as ......work.....instead of play.  When   
   you put a few kids together, though......the dynamics change and the kids   
   start to challenge each other.  Then it becomes fun, again.
