Thanks guys! I did spend some time before I went in thinking about how I was going to word things (you remember this can be a sore point with H).
SD, I have to agree, your idea about 'experimenting' is brilliant. So far H has blocked the idea of 'just doing it' by saying that we're just learning to play - no way we can perform a concerto yet - but maybe if I put it that way he'll warm to the idea.(aagh, you'd think we were talking about getting him to wallpaper or something!)
