My daughter is 3 tomorrow and although my wife and I have not tried to get her interested in music she does have a liking for it. I always have an old classical guitar laying around and she loves to strum it and sing along (all my good instruments are in cases out of reach). She enjoys anything musical - blowing on a harmonica/whistle, banging on drums etc and I have helped her to have a scrape on my fiddle which she loved - she wants her own now which I don't think is good idea yet as it wouldn't last very long :) Basically I think if kids see people around them playing and singing (and enjoying themselves), then they want to do the same. I don't think it is a good idea to force a young child onto an instrument and try to give them lessons.
