I want my 2 year old son to play a musical instrument and also have an interest in listening to music.
What's the right age to start music classes
What instrument should he learn (I'm leaning towards the Guitar or Piano, keyboard or Ukelele AND 1 Indian instrument like the Sitar, Sarod, Tabla, Bansuri, Shehnai). Is it practical to learn both western and Hindustani music?
What kind of music exposure would be beneficial towards such a goal and how do I go about it - should I just play let's say pop music at home and in the car (Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Adele, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, etc), or should I play music for a specific instrument eg guitar solos, clasical music with piano, etc)
I've read about the Suzuki method - if I understood it right, even before he learns any music theory, immersion in music and listening to it helps.
Having said this, eventually I'll support my son in whatever his interests are (instrument, music or no music)
