Internationally, the Suzuki method of training tiny kids to young adults has been proven over many decades.
"The Suzuki method (スズキ・メソード Suzuki mesōdo?, also called Talent Education, mother-tongue method, or Suzuki movement) is an educational philosophy which strives to create "high ability" and beautiful character in its students through a nurturing environment. Its primary vehicle for achieving this is music education on a specific instrument (often violin or piano, but see below for a more complete list). The 'nurture' involved in the movement is modeled on a concept of early childhood education that focuses on factors which Shinichi Suzuki observed in native language acquisition, such as immersion, encouragement, small steps, and an unforced timetable for learning material based on each person's developmental readiness to imitate examples, internalize principles, and contribute novel ideas. The term "Suzuki method" is also sometimes used to refer solely to the Suzuki repertoire of sheet music books and/or audio recordings which have been published as part of its music education method."
I will progressively add pictures of little (and much bigger munchkins and teenagers) on stage showing how they can accomplish the language of music in a group setting. Here's a start. This is a stitch by hand in photoshop from two images with 5DII and the 70-200 2.8L IS, processed from the jpg files for the web.
