DD has been badgering to learn an instrument for a long time. She enjoys music of all kinds and is becoming a more fluent reader. So we are thinking of starting up an instrument perhaps after Christmas or possibly before. DD's school offers tuition in a few instruments but I don't want to be led too much by this. i think it is more important that she should learn something she is really keen on and is suitable for her and then we will find lessons accordingly.
DD is physically very small- more like a 4yo in height, very slight build and tiny hands. She is on the verge of being ambidextrous but just about favours her left hand. So far, DD has mentioned piano, violin and guitar. I'm not sure about piano- we don't have one at home and couldn't afford one for the foreseeable future- and I would imagine she would need to practice? I've looked at a few guitars and have noticed you can get half sized and three-quarter sized ones. So wondered if this was doable?
What other instruments might be suitable in terms of her size?
