DS started asking to play the violin from 2 so we started him just before 3 with a private teacher (not Suzuki). He loves it and has now been learning for 1 year. It will exposure her to different music to that of guitar which is great. Also I have found it great to have DS do something that he has to work at (a little) and can't do perfectly each time - good life lesson... Orchestras would give her a chance to be with older/different kids too. Fingers crossed she likes it...
