In our survey, we found that most physically and mentally normal children have musical potential far beyond what is necessary to learn to play the right instrument. However, a child set to learn a wrong instrument has to overcome a whole complex of unnecessary physical, mental and emo-- handicaps. Taken together, these obstacles can more or less guarantee eventual failure on the instrument. Be-cause it is so difficult for parent or child to unravel what went wrong, there is a tendency to settle for the simple---but damaging---explanation that the child was “just not musical enough” to learn.

In ons opname, het ons gevind dat die meeste fisies en geestelik normale kinders musikale potensiaal ver as wat nodig is om te leer om die regte instrument om te speel. Maar 'n kind wat 'n verkeerde instrument om te leer 'n hele kompleks van onnodige fisiese, geestelike en emo-- gestremdhede te oorkom. Saam kan hierdie struikelblokke min of meer waarborg uiteindelike mislukking van die instrument. Wees-veroorsaak dit so moeilik vir die ouer of kind te ontrafel wat verkeerd geloop het, is daar 'n neiging om te skik vir die eenvoudige --- maar skadelike --- verduideliking dat die kind was "net nie musikale genoeg" om te leer.
