My wife and her family didn't play instruments, whereas my siblings and I did. So I'm biased that I think it's important to learn the basics of music when you're around this age... what better way than a piano where each key is clear as day.
Once they figure out the basics by looking at the keyboard, you can move them onto something cool like a saxophone, or if they're really gifted a banjo.
