[quote=Anonymous]I started at 9 (because I wanted to, not because my parents pushed it) and still play professionally all the time, have a Master's in performance. For some instruments, you can start very young (piano, strings), for others, you need to be big enough to hold the instrument and to blow hard enough to play it if it is wind instrument. My advice? Expose your kids to lots of music, especially live music, and let them pick an instrument or style they really like. School concerts at local middle and high schools are usually free and often inspire younger kids to "see" themselves playing something or singing.[/quote]
