Question:

What is the best instrument for a 9 year old boy to play?

He wants to play the viola. I think the trumpet is a better choice. Guitar and drums are out because you need 2 years playing experience. He will be playing at his elementary school.


Answers:

I say, if he wants to play viola, let him play viola. It should be his choice. I am a music teacher, and I have so many students (including trumpet players) who hate that their parents forced them into an instrument instead of letting them play what they want to. Music is about passion for what you're doing, and unless you like the instrument you're playing, you will not play it passionately.

Also, I can't help to notice that off the instrumentational choices you have selected for your son are stereotypical "boy" instruments. However, do not argue with him if he decides he wants to play a stereotypical "girlie" instrument. Some of my best flutists are boys (and some of my best trumpeters are girls.)
