I think introducing music at an early age is very important. My parents never listened to classical music when I was younger, and I didn't really appreciate it myself until late high school. Now that I listen to it more, my mom got hooked, too! However, having children listen to music and forcing them to play it are 2 very different things. My mom made my brother play the piano when he was younger and he absolutely despised it. He took lessons for about 3 years and finally, mom gave him the opportunity to choose a different musical instrument to learn. He chose trumpet and he still plays to this day. I think the most vital part is allowing the child to choose what interests him/her and then encouraging that particular thing.
