i think clarinet is supposed to be the easiest. flute and trumpet require more breath

Whichever he likes best, but does he have or will he have braces?

What about drums?

Trumpet, sax, clarinet, flute are good starter instruments.

Trombone is trickier because pitch is controlled by sliding a piece, and you need to slide it the right amount to produce the right pitch. If you don't have a good ear for pitch, trombone will be harder to start out on, but like anything it can be learned with enough practice.

Yes if he wants the trumpet, it’s a good starter one

4th grader wants to join band and he has expressed interest in trumpet. Is this a good instrument to start with? He has never played an instrument other than banging on a piano a little, cannot read music.
