[quote=Anonymous]Have you considered piano lessons? I think it would be easier for a kid with fine motor challenges to start with piano before moving to something like cello or viola. I have an older son (10) who plays viola and a younger son (8) doing piano. The younger DS started piano at 7. He has no official diagnosis but also had significant fine motor delays and probably some other special needs we haven't quite identified yet. Piano has overall gone pretty well for him. He's not a musical genius or anything, but he is making progress and I think he feels a sense of accomplishment from it. He will need to start violin, viola, or cello for school in another year and my sense is that it will be a struggle for him--but hopefully less so with a couple years of piano under his belt. I know piano is challenging in that not everyone owns a piano, but you can get a keyboard to start with to see how it goes before you invest in a real piano. [/quote]
