[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old? From what I understand, it's easier for a kid to start a string instrument when they're younger. You can learn to hold a bow and play notes ok at 5, but you don't have the mouth/breath control (I don't know how to describe it, I don't play any of those instruments) to play a wind instrument yet. [/quote] I would put it differently. At younger ages, kids are less concerned about sounding terrible so it's a good time to start violin, since it takes years to be able to play anything that isn't atrocious. It's good to start piano early because it's so difficult, you need to start your brain on the concept young. [/quote]
