She's not trying to turn this into a career. She's just curious to understand and potentially interested in picking up a new hobby.

My dad (also 72) has been learning to play guitar lately. He's not very good, and his progress is slow, but he's thoroughly enjoying it.

In that case I was completely out of line. I think things like Codea or Codecademy would be fantastic.
