Here many children will attend some lessons for different interests in their spare time. I asked my child what kind of musical instrument that his classmates learned. Hard to believe that nearly 2/3 children learn to play the piano in his class. This is already a big number. Whereas I don't think music plays a main role in our education

Honestly, I'm not sure what the most popular instrument is anymore. My friend's daughter plays cello at school. I really don't think that is a very popular instrument but she enjoys it and plays it very well.
I always thought piano or guitar would be the most popular.
Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

The most common and easy to use is the FLUTE. I saw lot of children's from school passing in our place bringing their respective instrument like flute.
Maybe it's because it's easy to acquire one. Less price and you will enjoy playing with your fellows

I got interested in playing piano since I was six, I have some piano but since piano is too expensive to buy I quit and just continued lobbying dancing. Nowdays guitar is the popular because anyone can afford it, my daughter bring her guitar in the school and they played in their free time.

in the Philippines due to this anime influence most of the kids wants to learn the violin. but still guitar and drums are the most played instrument as far as i know. kids wanted to play the guitar and drums. the piano i guess are for rich people har har har. piano is expensive. you need to own one to be able to study how to play. guitar is more affordable so guitar still sits at number one.

I would have thought it would have been the guitar but maybe that is an era gone by. I think it is important for a all rounded child to know how to play atleast one instrument. And the more a child is exposed to the more opportunity is given to them as far as options for a career. The more they see and experience the better.
