The Guardian has an account of a 14-year-old conductor:
Describing the boy's early interest in music, the writer observes:
"I went to a brass concert with my dad and grandfather and I cried three times," he said. While most children his age would have wept from boredom, Salazar said he felt enraptured, as though he needed to be a part of what was going on. He dropped karate lessons and started learning the flute.
40+ years of teaching suggests that, in my experience, young children would love the immediacy of going to a brass concert. Do we need Guardian hacks to give the impression that such an experience would produce tears of boredom for "most children"?
