How to play the violin

This is a video originally from an animated comedy site called "FilmCow"

It depicts "Johnny" being encouraged by his father to play the violin, but poor young Johnny doesn't seem to be enjoying it. My pedagogical rationale for embedding this video to my blog is that persistence an important step towards learning anything new, especially a musical instrument.

Many young students become frustrated, unmotivated and angry when dealing with the challenge of learning to play a musical instrument, but it is up to the parents to encourage the student to persevere (but not force) through their challenges, because the results of gaining musical talent can be very rewarding and offer many opportunities in their futures'.
