Which Instrument Should We Buy First? (Hint: Maybe None)

Parents often ask which instrument they should buy first. The honest answer surprises many: none.

At least not yet.

Before instruments, children need their bodies. Clapping, stomping, singing, and moving lay the foundation for musical understanding.

When instruments arrive too early, they can distract from listening.

Simple is powerful.

The body is the first instrument.

Everything else can wait.
