Oh no worries, I wasn't trying to talk you into it! (It was more an apercu than advice; speaking of advice, can someone tell me how to add diacritical marks here? I've just omitted a cedilla!!!) I just thought it was kind of an interesting alternative, and that somebody out there might be intrigued (plus I was afraid I hadn't explained it very well the first time!).
One fun thing a lot of kids enjoy is writing their own little pieces; Harpo's violin teacher has him write a lot of his own tunes, and his practice time never seems onerous to him when he's working on his own creations!
Have a great day!
