My son's piano teacher actually asked us to pull our son from lessons when he was five. She said he had enough natural musical talent that she didn't want him to get a skewed view of music because his fingers could physically not do yet what he needed to do the play the piano "right". He still has difficulty reading music but makes up his own songs, plays by ear, and plays drums in band at school. We had heard from other people that drums can sometimes be an issue for dysgraphic kids, but we haven't seen that with him. He has great rhythm and really enjoys it.
Dysgraphia is so much more than just difficulty writing. It has affected his ability to learn to ride a bike (still hasn't mastered that one at 12), tie shoes (mastered at 10), zip zippers (also mastered at 10) and many others.
But a diagnosis helps tremendously. At least you know dragon you're fighting.
