The comment about singing is germane, I think. He believes he "can't sing" because somebody told him that in Jr. Hi. (He also believes that you're not supposed to tap your foot while you play, for the same reason. Sounds like a Toxic Music Teacher Syndrome to me.)
In fact, he can carry a tune quite adequately. He can hum operatic arias, until they exceed his range. He always sings in "chest" voice, though -- way, way down low. I got him up into "head" voice once, and we were both surprised at how good he sounded.
We're working on Christmas Carols now -- great opportunity for singing!

BTW -- I DID learn to drive, stick shift, taught by my dad. And lived to tell about it. Maybe that's why I have the nerve to teach my hubby clarinet.
