[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Asian. I know many asian families enroll their kids at age 5 or earlier for piano, and then violin. I think I am the odd one. My kids are 5 and 9 with no music background that means they can't read music sheets. I wonder if it is too late for them to learn now just for fun, possibly joining band or orchestra if they decide to go further one day. I don't want to spend too much money in private 1:1, but I doubt if group lessons work or not for real. 5 year old wants to learn piano, and 9 year old is interested in drum or guitar for rock.

It used to be considered part of being a well educated MC person to know how to read music, for white Americans, but that seems to be an old fashioned idea nowadays.  My kids took piano lessons in order to learn to read music.  One stuck with piano, one didn't.  They both play other instruments now, also.[/quote]

Real MC cannot afford lessons.  [/quote]

Sure you can, it you prioritize it.  If you don't, then you can't.[/quote]
