My dd's state school is offering (slightly) subsidised music lessons on either the piano or violin. We don't have a piano at home so dd can't practice it outside of lessons, and I think her interest in the violin may be a flash in the pan (though dd seems keen cos she saw one being played once).
Are lessons at this age a waste of money (we haven't got much). Should I go for the piano (we don't have to hire one - yet more cost) or violin or neither.
I realise this isn't a life or death question , but only sympathetic answers please! I never learned to play an instrument and always regretted not learning the piano, but remember my parents thinking it was pointless if we didn't have one at home.
