[quote=Anonymous]We are considering starting music lessons for my 5.5 year old but are not sure which instrument to pick. My husband and I didnot grow up here. We are neither immersed in Western Classical music nor aware of the music scene in schools here. To give some background my son very likely has inattentive ADHD and is a very clumsy kid that is probably never going to play any sport in school. He does seem to have an ear for music. I would like to pick an instrument that might lead to him being a part of the band/orchestra in the future so that he has a group he can belong to. Something that can be his 'thing'. He did a short rec-type piano program a couple of years ago. We like piano cause unlike the violin say, it has an easier learning curve. However, I'm not sure it is something that will be of use in school later.

For those who might respond asking me to follow the child's interest, yes I will eventually. He is just too young now and it is all too unfamiliar for him to have an opinion. [/quote]
