Start them in classical piano/violin lessons in about a year, it will help them develop in all areas of life. If they want to learn a popular instrument when they are older, such as guitar, bass, drums, they will have an excellent foundation.

I hope my kids have interest in instruments. I had a very mild interest when I was a kid. I always thought it would be cool to play guitar but it looked so hard and I didn't think I could fit it into my schedule with all the sports.

I'm a lot older now and wish I would have put in the time then and be well versed in an instrument now. Now I can play a guitar but not good. Same with the trumpet. I'd love to be great at either and play in a band on the side.

Only do this if they absolutely say "Daddy, I want to learn how to play the piano." Do not force an instrument on them. Play music (good music, not the pop crap of today) and see if they can distinguish certain instruments and sounds from one another. If they are drawn to a particular instrument, then that will tell you all you need to know.
