When someone is about to make a life decision, he does not just rush into it like it was a decision whether to have cereal or waffles for breakfast. If you are in the middle of choosing which instrument to learn to play for either yourself or your child, you are more than likely to visit more than one musical instrument store. There are also a few decisions you need to make about which kind of instrument fits your style.
There are also many levels of difficulty depending on the instrument as well. If you are having a little bit of trouble with hearing the notes exactly, it might be a good idea to try something other than a string instrument. The violin and its family are not kind to those who are a little tone deaf. Since there are no frets like on the guitar, it is not as forgiving as many other instruments. The piano, however, is a great choice for those who are serious about learning an instrument and learning about the culture and history of classical music. If you decide to learn the piano, you cannot escape the classic music of Beethoven and Mozart. It can definitely be thoroughly impressive when classics are played well though and the piano definitely represents that kind of music flawlessly.
