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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

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 donโ€™t do well in studies, he can consider teaching piano lessons. (which is more in demand)

Foundation is very important. With a good foundation, progress in learning other instruments is usually better. ๐Ÿ™‚

I have always been captivated by how the fingers can sweep across the piano keys and produce beautiful music.

lol, my fingers are too short and too stiff by now. If I could, I would be happy just to play as well as this girl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E57qOSOLhNg&NR=1.

Maybe in my next life I would want to be born with some giftedness in music and longer fingers so that I could join a rock band. As of now, I would just satisfy myself playing guitar hero with my children. ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜ข
u dont really need long fingers to play electric guitar
perhaps maybe alot of practice to train your fingers to be more flexible becuz electric guitar do alot of sweeping and scale running

my younger bro (then early twenties) taught himself the guitar, electric guitar and electronic organ...in this order. ๐Ÿ˜„ His skills may not be superb, but good enough to impress girls. ๐Ÿ˜›

He learnt his instruments in this sequence piano-violin-flute.

Violin : Develop brain and mind, portable, will become handy for him to bring around and enjoy . Also may comes in handy when wooing girls ha ha when he grows up:lol:

Piano: Ah the traditional instrument that trains the mind and gives the most possibility in terms musical range. But not portable.

Drums: My boy love drums. See something can be hit like a drum and he will go for it.

Comma:
take the poll above , say the instrument and say why

Piano... because it is supposed to enhance multitasking capability (ie. whole brain activity).
