Do kids learn cool instruments in school these days?? :-)
They don't seem to. Or at least, the guitar lessons at my kids place appear to be the usual unimaginative thing. Also, they only seem to be allowed to play acoustics, which maybe isn't a bad thing, but I know wasn't what I wanted when I tried to learn as a kid.
Get them learning the Seven Nation Army riff early doors rather than faffing about with assorted nursery rhymes!

Sabbath (especially “Ironman”) has been the gateway drug for my kid.

I felt sorry for my nephew a few years ago when he was briefly fighting with a cello, so I bought him a ukulele. That didn't really take off but to be fair he then got on the drums (and bass) and is now at music college, so maybe the cello was a rite of passage to the fun stuff!

Ugh! I wish someone had put a guitar in my hands instead of a bloody violin when I was 9. Do kids learn cool instruments in school these days?? :-)
(Apologies to any fiddlers who are actually quite good/enjoy playing, and/or make it sound cool...)
