Choosing which music education methodology is likely to result in successful and enjoyable music lessons for your child is as important, and perhaps even more important, than deciding which instrument your child will learn to play. Your child may have a natural aptitude for several musical instruments, but if his music education experience is not in sync with his personality and learning style, the relationship between teacher and student is likely going to be strained and, therefore, the music lessons will not be as successful as they could otherwise be.
