The Right Instrument for your Child
A practical Guide for Parents and teachers
by Atarah Ben-Tovim and Douglas Boyd

Why do so many children give up piano, violin and guitar lessons? Through a revolutionary study, the authors have found that children fail because they have been given the wrong instrument and that a series of simple questions and facts will reveal the best instrument for every child. For example:

• The clarinet, with its rapid progress and quick rewards, often suits fast learners who tend to become impatient;
• Children who prefer to tackle one thing at a time prefer single-note instruments;
• Those who like the complexity of mental arithmetic or chess prefer the challenge of chordal instruments like guitar or piano;
• The flute is difficult for left-handers, since it must be held to the right of the body;
• Very energetic children are a nightmare for a violin teacher, but a dream for a percussionist.
