Played percussively, the piano is a bore… the goal is to make the piano sing, sing, sing.
– VLADIMIR HOROWITZ (1903 – 1989)
At Clavier Music & Art, the most common question that new parents ask us is “What instrument should my child start with?”, and our belief is: when in doubt, start with the piano.
Why?
It is easy to sound
It could not be any easier to get a sound out of the piano – you press a piano key.
Assists in note learning
Notes on the keyboard are laid out from low to high pitch, making it great for students to learn note-reading.
Tuning and maintenance
Although the piano is initially an expensive investment compared to most instruments, a good piano should not need part replacements or repairs for decades. Under normal use with annual tunings, pianos are generally worry-free and sturdy instruments offering many years of enjoyment.
