Yeah, I agree. Give the kid an opportunity to play what they want. Almost 20 years later, I am still miffed that I wasn't allowed to play percussion in school band. :-P I'm still curious about percussion nowadays and wished I knew a bit more so I could tinker with the percussion parts in orchestra on occasion. On the other hand, I have no desire to ever play flute again (apologies to the fluties), even after playing it for 6 years (I had no option 2 so I just kinda picked what my friend played and was not allowed to switch to anything else later on). At that age, there's nothing to lose. They don't like it or really struggle, then try something else. I'm of the ilk that doesn't understand the concept of lost time in childhood music education.
