How to choose a first instrument
Age, hands, personality and the music they love: how we help children and adults pick their first instrument.
The best first instrument is the one you want to play. Still, a few things make the start easier.
Start with the music they love
A child who loves pop songs will be happy at the piano or guitar; one who dances to every beat may be a drummer.
Think about hands and size
Very young children often start on piano or violin, which come in sizes for little hands.
Try before you buy
Our open house and trial lessons are made for this. Try three; one will click.
