Everyone in the school I went to was automatically enrolled in band in
the 4th grade, and they had instruments to loan out if your parents
couldn't afford to rent a better instrument (hire purchase or rent-to-own).
All the other 4th grade students got wind instruments or percussion. I
got the double bass, which was quickly switched to the cello when it
became obvious I had no way to transport the instrument from school to
home and back for practice & lessons.
Not to mention I didn't have a ladder at home to stand on so I could
reach the fingerboard. I was less than 5 ft tall then.
I know I learned the fundamentals of reading music, but I could not
carry on with the cello after the first year of free lessons. I have
some vague memories, but today, I'm hopelessly lost with sheet music.

This is wildly off-topic, but since a few of us PDMLers are learning
guitar, this is a book that every guitar player should download
