He's been expressing his desire for piano, so that will be the obvious choice. Also, in apartments here, people are very sensitive to noise, so it'll be easier to set him up with an electronic piano so he can practice with headphones.

I recommend starting with either piano or drums. 

Never heard of the perfect pitch thing. That's quite interesting. I always assumed it was something innate... something you have or something you haven't. I'll look into it. Was hesitating to get him to start a music instrument, maybe better to do it now than later then :)

Education

Play it forward: Lasting effects of pretend play in early childhood

I'll check it out. He is interested in books so I think it will come in good time.

There's one thing I'd like to get him interested in which is perfect pitch. Apparently you need to learn it before 5-6 or you never will. Its not an important life skill, but is an amazing skill to have for musicians. Just thinking about whether it should be learn through the instrument or digitally with a tablet.
