How well does he take suggestion? I barely know the music teacher. I met him a few times, and he greeted me enthusiastically telling me how much he enjoys having my son in his class.

This might be a possibility - either to have myself or perhaps preferably my wife (or both?) come in to work with the kids. Neither of us is experienced at teaching, and my wife is the better singer of the two of us, and her voice more closely matches the range of the children.
