In general it’s good to just let them do what they want, regardless of instrument. Piano could be appealing if they’re McCartney, Billy Joel, or Elton fans… or even because they saw Taylor Swift play one recently. I did guitar lessons twice… once at 10 years old on a classical, and stopped after my 8th lesson when I came home crying about how I had no interest in the material and wanted to play on electric with distortion. Picked it up again at 14 on an electric, learning rock songs I wanted to play. Massive difference, I would often hole up in my room playing 4-5 hours at a time. Still play 30 years later.
