Most children have an interest in learning to play a musical instrument at one point or another during their growing-up years. Parents need to take advantage of that urge to play when it appears. Some very small children become intrigued with music because they see their parents or their older siblings play. The Suzuki method of instruction capitalizes on that early willingness to learn by involving the parent and the child in the child’s instructions. Elementary-aged youngsters often are exposed to stringed instruments or band instruments in their school music classes. Because kids like to do what other kids do, parents who are not musicians themselves can take advantage of both instruction and enthusiasm. It is at the middle school level, however, that peer pressure can really work to the benefit of parents who want to hear the sound of music around the house.
What is the Main Idea?

• most children have an interest in learning to play a musical instrument during their growing-up years.
• some very small children become intrigued with music because they see their parents or siblings play
• at various points, parents can take advantage of their children’s desire to play a musical instrument. 
• middle-school children take delight at selecting and learning to play an instrument along with their friends.
