lol. A+ response

A lot of music programs now, assuming you can't afford a piano, are teaching children Ukulele since its very small, similar to a guitar, and far more affordable (around here there about $30)

I'd highly recommend looking into a Uke, or one of the programs that utilize it.

Yes, the Ukulele is a wonderful instrument and you can get a great one for around 100 bucks... and that's pretty cheap for a quality instrument. I would probably get a tenor sized uke as concert and regular sized ukes can be pretty small. Look to a brand called Lanikai, they sound great and are pretty cheap.

Buy Lanikai LU-21T Tenor Ukulele | Ukuleles | Musician's Friend

Buy Lanikai LU-21 Standard Ukulele | Ukuleles | Musician's Friend

I hear what you're saying LLSS, but for a 3 year old, you probably don't want to drop $100.

How about a classic

They're cheap, easy to play, and hard to break.

And they make little children hate music everywhere.

Brings back memories of 4th grade music class. I hated that damn thing. I hate you for posting it.

Just get a little toy xylophone or little bongos or somethin. shes only 3...if you get her a flute or something like that she is gonna annoy the hell out of everyone

Yeah, I had more fun breaking mine. They sound horrible, are cheap, annoy everyone pretty much... they're barely a step up from a vuvuzela.

when i was little i had a minature piano when i was around that age. not a keyboard but a literal mini piano. i loooved it and played piano till the time i was 8. buuut i got bored after a while (MAAAJOR A.D.D.) but anyways, it was great for me. it had 1/3 of the keys as well that way i could get the basic concept of the notes and all down in a simpler manner untill i was ready to move up to the regular size.

Oh, that's actually a really good idea.
I had a keyboard when I was small too and I used to write songs all of the time.
I also had a little guitar (not a ukelele, just a play guitar).
