[quote=Anonymous]Maybe cello? As a violin player with a DD taking cello lessons, I think it’s a little easier than violin. It’s easier to hold, and the bow hold is easier. Some teachers may say that 5 is a little young but you may be able to find group cello classes if you check the larger music schools like Levine. Maybe he could transition to private lessons once he’s introduced to it and figures out if he likes it. The group classes make it fun and there’s an element of peer pressure to behave. There’s also something to be said for piano as a stepping stone to other instruments. My other DD took piano from ages 5-9 and is switching to a band instrument next year so she can be with her friends. She already reads both treble and bass clefs so will have an easier time learning a new instrument. [/quote]
