[quote=Anonymous]I'll probably be in the minority on this, but as an adult who plays a bunch of instruments (guitar, banjo, ukulele, flute, piano, piano), I think by far the best way to cultivate a lifelong musician (presuming the goal isn't to have them play in school bands / orchestras for the elementary and perhaps high school years before giving up the instruments in adulthood) is to actually play instruments at home and model the behavior to your kids. There are a lot of parents who want their kids to "learn" instruments (and sign them up with teachers and lessons and this and that), but who never actually play any themselves. It's like being the parent who yells at their kid to read while never picking up a book.[/quote]
