[Harp-L] Following footsteps

["Degregorio, Jeffery" <jeffery.degregorio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While on vacation north of Houston Texas, my son decided to get a harmonica (I have been playing for a few years now).  He's only 7 but can blow and draw chords and we encourage him along.  What's the best way to keep his interest and when should some type of "formal" training begin?  Basically, what's the best way to teach young children?  I suppose if he gets started now, by the time he's 12, can he be a "superstar"???  Any tips, suggestions, ideas to add, and stories would be great.  I have seen a video of an 8-10 year old girl playing on stage in public about a month or two ago that someone on Harp-L shared, but not sure what it was.  She must have got started somehow.
Thanks,
Jeff
