Yes, I have thought about it and consulted lots of people, some professional, some not. What I have taken away from numerous conversations is the fear of ruining it for him. I have been told that if he starts too early, it might take the enjoyment out of it. This child can mimic the chords to all his favorite songs now! It's unbelievable. His ADHD and anxiety could pose a problem, but he wants this BAD. I do think that it takes a very special person to teach a child like this, and they are not a dime a dozen. And he just cannot learn from a screen. He's a tactile kid. I'd love to find someone who would come to my home, or I'll bring him to them. It would be so much more impactful to see the teacher in person. Then, I'd do what the musician says. This is something I can afford to do, I've been saving for lessons since he was 3! Lessons and a Fender Stratocaster!
