Thread Name: What Is the Best First Instrument?
Subject: RE: What Is the Best First Instrument?
Perhaps, generally speaking, piano is best. For me, 5 years of lessons as a child just convinced me I couldn't play an instrument. Approximately 40 years later, a friend suggested that I try the autoharp & I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could sense what chords to play & had an instrument that could accompany my singing. Piano just made me feel like a failure.

best,
