Fantastic. One big thing I will say is encourage him to read music without writing the letters underneath. My papa was insistent on this with me and now, even tho I've not played in a band for 20 years, I can still pick up a sheet of music and play it on sight. They'll teach him how to break it down, the different speeds, they'll teach him about note value and through that he will learn how to write music.

I was 15 when I learned. I was playing a set of full sized pipes within 6 months, it was in the blood and because of my interest i took to it like a duck to water. I suspect he will be the same because he is interested and wants to do it. I saw so many people who were there because their parents wanted them to do it and they just didn't care. And I'd invest in earplugs

I played/ practiced constantly. My mom ended up putting a time limit on it. I wasn't allowed to play after 9pm

.

Just PM me if you need anything else. I'm all excited
