What is the best instrument a 5 year old can learn to play at this age?
I would like for my child to learn how to play an instrument now that she is out of school. Is it possible at her young age?
I recommend waiting until she is 7 years old, then enter her into piano lessons. She’ll gain more practice that way, all the while without forcing it onto her. And the piano is an excellent start.

The only instrument I could think of is the Piano.

violin,piano,flute,drums doesnt matter which age, im sure they will get it but I recommend learning the violin or piano

Start her out on piano… but don’t force her to play if she doesn’t want to.

Of course. For the best help, I would go to a store where you can rent instruments and ask a store associate for help finding a first instrument.

there are very many protege’s in history but don’t push any thing on her,let her try things out but always keep the receipt

what ever they want to try.

drums would be the funnest but as long as she has discipline she should be able to pick up piano with the right teacher or the recorder to start her off then work into a wind instrument

Yes, but don’t force her to do it. Ask if she wants to. As for a good instrument, might I recommend the piano?

it could really be anything it matters what they are interested in let them pick.

Suzuki cello starts at 3. Don’t just start her on an instrument, take her to an orchestra concert or a rock concert and ask her what looks like the coolest instrument. Most kids who are forced to play things (like violin) end up quitting

ever heard of mozart? sure little children can. i’ve been playing guitar since i was 4

there is a flute-like instrument i cant really think of the name though. i think its called a recorder or something like that. i learned it in 4th grade music class and it was the easiest thing in the world. your kid would definately be able to play it…. that or maybe a piano…

Well, they start 3rd graders on violin, flute….5 yo’s don’t have the comprehension needed (usually!) & schools tend to start all kids off on a recorder in the 2nd gr – never before that.
Sure they let them play w/ instruments but SERIOUSLY – not until 2nd gr.
I would reseach summer programs thru parks & rec – they may have a music class specifically for her age group.

mmm…my roomate’s daughter started on drums at 3. Then she started on guitar, then in high school-she is now on trombone, cymbols and is still on drums. If she can, try to get her into piano or any wind instrument she can hold. if you want to read a story on someone exposing music to kids go to my source

Yes! My friend has 3 young daughters who play the piano and they love it! They are 7, 5, and 3. The younger they are the easier it is for them to learn and the more it benefits them in other areas, such as school. My husband’s mother taught him and his siblings the piano when they were younger and they still enjoy it today!

I would say the piano. I started learning it about the same age. But of course the drums take no skill at all.

Hmmm… How about a Gibson custom Jeff Beck 1954 Les Paul Oxblood aged signed electric guitar – played, numbered, and signed by Jeff Beck himself – with a mahogany body, carved maple top, rosewood fretboard, and aged by the master luthiers at Gibson Custom to look exactly like Beck’s original…

Piano is probably really good for a 5 year old, but make sure you start at an easy level. Drums can be good, because it isn’t that complicated. You can try violin or viola, but that may be a little too hard .
Good Luck and Bravo to your 5 year old for being such a great music player even thought he/she has not started!
