How Do I Know Which Instrument My Child Should Learn? 🎶

Starting your child on a musical journey is an exciting step, but with so many instruments to choose from, how do you know which one is the best fit? At Gowanus Music Club (GMC), we make this decision easier by offering expert guidance, hands-on experience, and a supportive community where kids don’t just learn music—they live it!

Where to Start? Follow Their Interests!

Music is most rewarding when kids play an instrument they love. Does your child tap out beats on the table? Maybe they’re a natural drummer! Do they sing along to every song? Vocal lessons could be perfect. If they’re fascinated by melodies and love to experiment, keyboard or guitar might be a great match.

Our Core Instruments at GMC

🎸 Guitar – Great for kids who love versatility! Whether they want to strum along to their favorite songs or rock out in a band, guitar is a fantastic way to develop coordination and musicality.

🥁 Drums – Perfect for energetic kids who love rhythm. Drumming improves timing, focus, and teamwork—especially when playing in a band!

🎹 Keyboard – A strong foundation for all musicians. Keyboard lessons help with note reading, coordination, and understanding music theory while allowing for creativity.

🎤 Voice – The voice is an instrument, too! Singing builds confidence, breath control, and performance skills—perfect for kids who love to express themselves.

While these are our main instruments, we also offer lessons in bass, brass, and other instruments—so your child can explore and find the perfect fit.
