What to consider when selecting an instrument:
Ultimately, the instrument you and your child choose should depend on a number of factors. Here's a list of questions to consider before bringing home a new music maker:
-
Is your child excited about the instrument? Do they like the way it sounds and feels? Noteworthy music offers a "petting zoo" that introduces kids to multiple instruments through the purchase of a 4-pack (which can then be applied to your term tuition once you sign up for the term)
-
Is the instrument too challenging or is it not challenging enough (for both you and your child)?
-
Does your child's temperament match the instrument?
-
Can you afford the instrument and the maintenance that comes with it?
-
As a parent, do you like the sound enough to listen to your child practice it for hours at home?
-
Is your child specifically interested in a particular music style? If so, factor that into your instrument choice, as some specifically cater to certain styles. For instance, a violin player will have a hard time fitting in a jazz ensemble.
