What Music instrument will you let your child join and why

Personally, I would prefer my kids to learn Piano. I have always been captivated by how the fingers can sweep across the piano keys and produce beautiful music.

Piano, also because it forms the basic foundation for musicianship. Foundation is very important. With a good foundation, progress in learning other instruments is usually better.

I love the sounds of both instruments, piano and violin and learning helps to develop the brain. I think small children playing violin is so cute and it is portable! Imagine a toddler wearing tux and playing a violin.


If hv to choose one to learn first, piano. Reason being it is basic foundation and in case my son don’t do well in studies, he can consider teaching piano lessons. (which is more in demand)

Violin - same reasons like portability, less noisy (than piano), less expensive for initial startup compared to piano (until you are sure she is really interested in learning the instrument), takes less physical space, and also it sounds really nice if played well :lol:


But the most important reason: my gal chose to want to learn violin herself. I learnt piano myself and thought maybe I can start her off with piano but she is resolute to learn violin. The nice thing is, though, I can play the piano accompaniment when she plays her violin pieces
