There are some music 'toys' you can get a child to encourage musical interest. Basically they are things like xylophones, a simple flute or recorder. Don't spend much money. When they do something with it just praise them.

Our 11 year old son is learning to play drums and he wants to learn how to play piano. Our 9 year old daughter wants to learn to play the flute & piano. I imagine we will be buying a used upright piano this year and hiring a teacher to come in and teach them once a week.
