Re: Why so many 40-something starters?

I think that learning music theory is a bit of a desert to be crossed for children and that it contrasts harshly with the lush landscapes of music which attract them. I'm not sure how one can get around that, but I believe that there is a delicate balancing act there which is perhaps not always managed with enough sensitivity.
While reading music is indispensable, I believe in a degree of learning and playing from memory, because this more readily lends itself to the flow of individual interpretation and the dimension of creativity . This can of course be done through reading music , but not with the degree of proficiency that children are likely to have mastered . Hence I imagine that a lot of the most naturally artistic children become frustrated and disillusioned with the learning process.
