Whatever ability children have or do not have, they need to play an instrument. And your encouragement will go a long way to influencing them to do it. One common example are piano lessons.

But they will need the benefits that having an instructor brings. This will give them direction and guidance. And this will improve anything they ever get out of their music. And it might help them express their feelings.
