Yes, Rusty, that's exactly what I'm talking about! I love how that student is just so amazed by the seasoned player, but still plays his own part with such enthusiasm when it's his turn. He never gives up, even though he's struggling. He sounded fairly decent in a few parts as well. Good for him!
I have to say that my daughter is the same way. She takes it seriously and practices often. She sounds dreadful, but we'd never tell her that, of course. She likes to play for us sometimes. Talk about grinning and bearing it. Still, I guess we've just gotta buckle down and show our support.
