Find a teacher who will teach them more than just rote memorization.

They'll thank you when they hit 30 or so.
Yes, that's what I'll probably do. I regret never learning music, as an adult I tried to learn clarinet and it was okay but nothing like having learned as a child. Both my kids love to sing, my daughter has a beautiful voice (everyone comments on it) so being able to accompany oneself would be good. Plus this is a quality baby grand piano, bought new by some close friends and well-maintained, that a bitter divorce is now (possibly) making available for $1,200-1,500. Don't know squat about pianos, but seems like a reasonable bet.

All in all, the G5 doesn't come close.
