My DS (reception) has come home with a form for musical instrument teaching in Yr1. DS is a late Aug birthday so will only just be 5 when Yr1 starts. He says he wants to learn the violin but I am wondering if I should push him to start on something (I assume is) easier like the recorder. I play the flute and recorder but I don't want to push my preferences on to him.
So has anyone any experience of 5yr olds learning the violin? Is it manageable and will he be able to get a tune out of it fairly quickly or throw it across the room in frustration or get a bit fed up?
The form has to go in on Monday so any views would be much appreciated.
