OPINION: Both of my daughters are agreed on the joy that comes from singing popular hits loudly (and tunefully), but there's a sharp divide when it comes to wanting to learn instruments.
Daughter one has zero interest. Daughter two is keen, and has proven herself by practising recorder for school without having to be nagged. Her flute lessons begin shortly. Daughter one's lessons have come to an end.
Parents are often keen to have their children learn instruments, some owing to a belief in "Little Mozart" syndrome that learning an instrument makes children smarter, others because they believe it brings their child status.
But depending on how your child learns it can cost anywhere from nothing (taught at home by a skilled parent continuing a family tradition) to $15-30 for group, or single lessons.
