jayne, I think there is a huge difference between 4 year old playing chords and 6 year old playing chords. Their hands are really small at that age. Why to push them to do something which will come much easier when they are older?
As far as the boring part goes I think my DS5 prefers the learning to read music and the various terms then he actually prefers playing.
LOL crisc. That's DS6. He could probably go through the 1st theory primer in 2 sessions and be done with it. I think the reading notes part is quite easy for gt kids. It's the playing which requires some work.
