DD aged 6 (year 2) has come home with the option to play piano or violin. Personally I think she is too young to start playing and would prefer her to start playing something when she knows what the instrument is and actually has a choice of instruments.
I had music lessons as a child and played a variety of woodwind instruments starting with the recorder age 5. However I think that when Dd is a little older there are many more instruments that she can play. At this age some instrruments are beyond her physical capabilities eg she cannot reach all the finger positions on a flute and some brass instruments are not an option because of lung capacity!
I just wondered what other peoples experiences are with this.
