Piano lays melody across keys; drums divide time into beats. Age alone does not decide which should come first. Watch whether your child follows melodies by singing, or responds to music by clapping and moving.
給爸媽的短答案：愛哼歌、找高低音，先玩 LetPiano；愛拍手、敲桌子，先玩 LetDrum；兩種都喜歡，就把 10 分鐘拆成「5 分鐘琴鍵＋5 分鐘鼓點」。啟蒙的目的不是提早定型，而是保留孩子想再玩的動力。The short answer for parents: start with LetPiano if your child sings and searches for high and low notes; start with LetDrum if they clap and tap furniture. If they enjoy both, split ten minutes into five minutes of keys and five minutes of beats.

1 · 先看孩子怎麼回應音樂
1 · Watch how your child responds to music
選的不是「哪個比較厲害」，而是哪個入口讓孩子願意再試一次。
The question is not which instrument is better, but which doorway makes your child want another turn.

2 · LetPiano：先完成一小段，不追求整首
2 · LetPiano: finish one small phrase, not a whole song
v1.3 把每天的練習拆成三張卡，約五分鐘就能走完。
Version 1.3 breaks daily practice into three cards that take about five minutes.
今日路線：一首歌、一個迷你課、一段視譜衝刺。Today's path: one song, one mini lesson, and one sight-reading sprint.貼紙冊與每日任務記錄完成感，不用靠廣告或課金獎勵。The sticker book and daily missions mark progress without ads or paid rewards.
When I built LetPiano, I kept a beginner mode that waits for the correct key: notes do not disappear because a child is late, and there is no failure countdown. The new five-minute path helps families stop while playing still feels good.
3 · LetDrum：先守住拍子，再增加變化
3 · LetDrum: hold the beat before adding complexity
v1.1 從暖身節奏走到自己編關卡，讓「我想亂敲」慢慢變成「我能重複一段節奏」。
Version 1.1 moves from warmups to custom levels, turning free tapping into repeatable rhythm.
從 76–88 BPM 的短關卡開始，先聽懂穩定的拍點。Short 76–88 BPM levels help children hear and hold a steady pulse.會跟拍後，再自己安排鼓點與速度，從玩家變成小創作者。After following beats, children can arrange hits and tempo as young creators.
Let children explore the drum pads first, then choose the shortest warmup. Add more drums or build a pattern only after the pulse feels steady. Accuracy comes later; immediate sound keeps the first experience playful.
4 · 每天 10 分鐘的琴鍵＋鼓點玩法
4 · A ten-minute keys-and-beats routine
短到容易開始，也短到能在孩子還開心時結束。
Short enough to start easily—and to stop while it is still fun.
2 min先聽與模仿Listen and echo家長哼三個音，或拍四拍；孩子回一次。Hum three notes or clap four beats; the child echoes once.
5 min孩子選主角Child choosesLetPiano 今日路線，或 LetDrum 一個短關卡。A LetPiano daily path or one short LetDrum level.
3 min自由演奏Free play不計分、不糾正，讓孩子自己收尾。No score or correction; let the child make the ending.

爸媽常問
Questions parents ask
幾歲可以開始玩鋼琴或鼓？What age can children start piano or drums?
A child who can follow a simple prompt and imitate sound can begin through short games; reading notation can come later. Five to ten minutes is enough. Returning willingly matters more than one long session.
沒有真的鋼琴或鼓，App 有用嗎？Are apps useful without a real piano or drum kit?
Apps are useful for testing interest and building first ideas of pitch and rhythm, but they do not replace an instrument's touch, posture, or teacher feedback. If interest lasts, try a keyboard, practice pad, or lesson next.
同一天玩兩個 App 會不會太多？Is using both apps in one day too much?
Not if the total session stays short and the child can choose. Try five minutes of keys plus five minutes of beats, or use only one app that day. Attention and mood matter more than a fixed schedule.
