Choosing the Right Instrument for Your Child

·

The best instrument is the one a child wants to practise. Start with their interests: songs they love, sounds they are drawn to.

Consider age and size: ukulele and keyboard suit younger children, while violin and flute reward patient focus. Rhythm-minded children often love tabla.

A trial class is the easiest way to decide. Let the child try, and watch which instrument they ask about on the way home.
