Music Instrument
Which is the best musical instrument for a beginner who has no previous music experience?
I plan to learn a musical instrument. I have no previous music experience. Which instrument should I start with - Piano, violin, guitar?
Assuming that you are going to be taught in private lessons by a qualified teacher, you can choose any instrument that you'd like.
Some info on the instruments you mentioned, plus a few more:
Piano is not that difficult to begin with, and you can quickly learn to play a good number of tunes with which you would be familiar. How hard it gets is dependent on how much you want to work at it. You can play any style of music on it. I feel that this is the instrument that gives you the most knowledge of music theory in a short amount of time, therefore you can translate your knowledge to other instruments more quickly.
Guitar is also fairly easy, and you will be learning music theory fairly quickly. Possibly as quickly as piano, but this depends on your teacher. You can play any style of music on it. If you really want to learn, you should take lessons in CLASSICAL guitar, from a teacher that is highly trained in it. Classical is the basic foundation for all guitar playing. You will be able play the pop/rock stuff easily on your own after you learn in the classical style. You will not be able to use any old guitar for classical (string textures and their attachment to the guitar are different), so find a teacher before purchasing a guitar so that they can advise you on what to buy. The good news is that they are inexpensive compared to some other instruments.
Violin is a very traditional instrument, and is versitile in the fact that you can play classical music, contemporary music (think the orchestra in "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith), or country/bluegrass music (called fiddle when you play in this style). Contact a teacher before you buy your violin. There are many different companies that make violins, and some are great while others are downright crummy. Also, depending on your age and size, you may not need a full size violin yet. They can help you determine which size to get. Downside: solo instrument. If you want accompaniment, someone else must do that for you. Don't neglect the other string instruments: viola, cello (my favorite), and sting bass.
Woodwind instruments: flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon. All require as much finger dexterity as piano and guitar, as well as being able to do certain things with your mouth. Instruments that are not played as commonly, like bassoon, will get you college scholarships more quickly than more common ones like flute and clarinet. You can play in school bands and marching band (which is very fun).
Brass Instruments: trumpet, trombone, baritone/euphonium, tuba. These require less finger dexterity, but more dexterity with your mouth. Baritone/euphonium and especially tuba are good for scholarships. You can play in school bands and marching band (which is very fun), as well as Drum and Bugle Corps (which is even more fun).
Percussion: aka drums. If you are going to learn drums, learn it the real way and learn to play the percussion keyboards (bells, marimba, xylophone, etc) as well. You can't get into college playing the drums alone, you must learn the rest.
Above all, you should play what interests you the most!
