How old are they? Do them a big favor, pay for competent music lessons. I was lucky, my mom had a teaching degree in piano...........

After I progressed on the trombone,I moved beyond her expertise and got private lessons.........

Picking an instrument has a LOT to do with it. Most people start with piano or electronic keyboard to begin with, then move to others.

Stay away from the string instruments unless your child is VERY focused on it. There are hard to master and painful to listen to early on..........
